Les Deschiens - Lapin chasseur

The life of a "big" restaurant seen as a world unto itself, a world apart with its own inhabitants, rules, intrigues, movements, hierarchy, history and stories, internal and external relationships... an organic world that pulses, moves, shouts, cries, sings and, of course, eats. Here, the particularity of their vision lies in the stage set-up, which offers two separate, parallel spaces that interact with each other: the "visible" world on the dining room side, and the "underground" world on the kitchen side. At intermission, the spectator switches sides, seeing the same story from two radically different points of view.

Directed by Guy Séligmann, Jérôme Deschamps, Macha Makeïeff, Les Deschiens - Lapin chasseur leans on a strong ensemble — Jean-Marc Bihour, Yolande Moreau, Susan Carlson — 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 1989.
