About Le glandeur
Bruno Bonbeck, a retired soccer referee, is the world’s biggest layabout until his politician wife, the Junior Minister for Sport, delivers an ultimatum: you get a job or I get a divorce. The film traces the trials and tribulations of Bruno’s 18-hour hunt for gainful employment and has a very unexpected ending.
Directed by Jean-Pierre Mocky, Le glandeur leans on a strong ensemble — Evelyne Harter, Jean-Pierre Mocky, Jean Abeillé — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 2000.
