About Le chien qui a vu Dieu
In a small Italian village live a group of men, each as miscreant as the next. Among them is the baker, violent and miserly. One day, to benefit from an inheritance, he has to distribute fifty kilos of bread a day to the poor for five years. At the moment of distribution, a dog comes along and takes a loaf of bread in its mouth, to take to an old hermit whom the villagers are convinced "has seen God".
Directed by Paul Paviot, Le chien qui a vu Dieu leans on a strong ensemble — Jean Bouise, Isabelle Sadoyan, Jean-Claude Charnay — 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 1970.
