Tout feu, tout flamme (1982)

English title: All Fired Up.

Synopsis (mild spoilers): After a long absence, a man returns to France where he has three daughters and his mother. The eldest daughter works for the U.N. and is very suspicious of her father. When she hears that he has conned his own mother into selling her possessions so that he can open a casino, she is very enraged and tries to stop him from going ahead with the deal.

Appraisal: Dramatic comedy without much interest which nonetheless lets itself be seen without great effort, thanks to the agility of both script and mise-en-scene.

Rating: 34
