France 2 is gearing up for the broadcast of the beloved comedy film 'L'enquête Corse' this Sunday, December 22, 2024, at 21h05, offering viewers a delightful alternative to the blockbuster 'Avatar' airing on TF1. Directed by Alain Berbérian, the film reunites popular French stars Jean Reno and Christian Clavier, ensuring audiences are treated to both charm and humor.
'L'enquête Corse,' adapted from the eponymous comic by René Pétillon, follows the story of Jack Palmer, played by Reno, who is tasked with locating the elusive Ange Léoni, a separatist leader on the stunning island of Corsica. Palmer’s mission initially appears straightforward: to deliver property documents to Léoni, who has recently come upon a substantial inheritance. Unbeknownst to Palmer, this seemingly simple task is riddled with unexpected twists and playful complications.
The film showcases the dynamic between Palmer, the suave Parisian detective, and Léoni, who lives off the beaten path among locals and is actively sought after by the authorities. The comedic narrative cleverly captures the spirit of the region, highlighting its unique customs and the contrasts Palmer faces as he navigates the challenges of his mission. The portrayal of Corsica as both enchanting and treacherous sets the scene for Palmer’s adventures filled with abductions, manipulations, and stunning escapes.
Caterina Murino joins the cast as Léa, the captivating Italian actress who enhances the story's allure, fulfilling Berbérian's vision of featuring "an incredibly beautiful actress" who embodies both charm and energy. Murino's role marked a pivotal moment for her career, following which she gained international recognition for her performance alongside Daniel Craig in 'Casino Royale.'
Upon its theatrical release on October 6, 2004, 'L'enquête Corse' quickly became a hit, accumulating over 2.5 million ticket sales within nine weeks, proving its popularity among audiences. The film's success shows no signs of waning, making it a perfect choice for re-broadcasting during the holiday season, particularly for those who may want to revisit it or experience it for the first time.
Viewers can watch 'L'enquête Corse' live on France 2, or catch it streaming on France.TV, ensuring broad accessibility for all fans of French cinema. This evening promises to be filled with laughter as audiences tune in to witness Palmer’s escapades on the scenic isle of beauty, where his 'simple' assignment spirals hilariously out of control.
