The goat leaves Prime Video: what is it about?

The goat is the kind of comedy that you watch when you want to have a good time of entertainment without taking the lead. The plot takes place in Mexico, when CEO Bens’ daughter is so unlucky that she gets kidnapped while on vacation. To find her, her father hires the private detective Campana whom he associates with an inveterate blunderer in the hope that he will bring him closer to his daughter…

Gérard Depardieu and Pierre Richard, a duo that works

During the filming of The goat, Gérard Depardieu and Pierre Richard quickly became accomplices. Enough to encourage Francis Veber to reform the tandem within Freinds (1983) and The fugitives (1986). More than 40 years after the release of the film, the cult duo of French cinema have reformed again on the set of the film Umami, by director Slony Sow. The two acolytes seemed happy to have found themselves on the screen. Pierre Richard wrote in the caption of a snapshot posted on Twitter : “Friends for life, friends for wine”.
