Vive La France!
| Title: | The Dinner Game (1998), d. Francis Veber |
| Starring: | Thierry Lhermitte, Jacques Villeret |
| Summary: | An effete clique of Parisians competes to see who can bring the biggest idiot to their regular dinner parties. Pierre believes he’s won top prize by producing the lowly, trivia-obsessed accountant Pignion, but things soon grows more complicated, especially when Pignion declares himself wise in the ways of love. Which is the real fool? |
| Dress: | Decide if you’re on Pierre’s side or Pignion’s. Sharp city fashion for the former; nerd wear for the latter. |
| Music: | Les chanteurs Francais incomparables: Edith Piaf, Michel Legrand, Charles Trenet, Yves Montand, and Maurice Chevalier. |
| Food: | You can go haute French and do noisettes of lamb with artichokes – not so difficult actually – or rustic bistro French with beef Bourguignon, but go French. Brie and crackers afterwards. |
| Drink: | No respectable French dining table lacks good Bordeaux, Cognac and perhaps Calvados to finish. |
| Farr Notes: | Pass around this ready-to-print leaflet on The Dinner Game |
