Les portes de la gloire Reviews

Basically, it is once again one of these really obscure French movies that almost no one has seen here on listal. No, let me correct this. I’m actually the only one who has seen this movie so far on this website and it must be the 2nd time only that something like this happened to me! To be honest, even though I know it was far from being a huge comedy, I didn’t expect it to be so obscure though. Anyway, back in those days, Benoit Poelvoorde was quite famous in France thanks to some hilarious TV shows he was involved with and, at the end of the 90’s, he was expanding his career to the silver screen. I was quite a fan of Poelvoorde so I tried to catch all his movies and I think I rented this one at the time. Eventually, I have to admit it that this flick was nothing really amazing but I still think it was quite entertaining and actually better than most of the other comedies involving Poelvoorde like ‘Le vélo de Ghislain Lambert’ for example. Indeed, basically, it is a really dry and dark comedy involving some door-to-door salesmen and I thought it was some perfect material for the Belgian actor. To conlcude, even though it is one of the most obscure movies I have ever seen and even though it is not really a masterpiece, I still think it is worth a look, especially if you are interested in French comedies.
