Le bijou d'amour

Adrien is a journalist specialised on the "strange". He is asked to interview a man who is said to know succubi. He meets a woman at the cemetery's entrance who offers him a ring which had belonged to Casanova and has magic powers which enable the journalist to make his fantasies come to reality. But he must sell this ring within seven days for fear of a terrible death

Directed by Patrice Rhomm, Le bijou d'amour leans on a strong ensemble — Jacques Manteil, Brigitte Lahaie, Joëlle Le Quément — 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 1978.
