The god Hermes, the patron saint of merchants and swindlers, loves the trinity no less than other gods. So the appearance of the triquel to the famous twenty-year-old comedy about unscrupulous law enforcement officers "Open up, police!" (in the original "Corrupt") was predetermined in heaven.
Of all the films by the renowned French comedian Claude Zidi ("The Monster" with Jean-Paul Belmondo, "He Gets Angry" with Pierre Richard, "Banzai" with Kolyush), only one has won significant film awards. This is "Open Up, Police!" (1984), which won two Cesar Awards — for best film and best director. Then Zidi killed, cooked and served a couple of fat hares with one shot: he added two extremely cute crooked policemen to the pantheon of movie heroes and shot a poisonous satire on incorruptible French flicks. In the vast expanses of the USSR, the confectioners of Soviet censorship added a little bit of the sweets of the forbidden fruit to the film. After showing the full version of the film at the Moscow Festival, before its release, they cut off the harmful and full of temptations ending, which promised the crooks in the law a comfortable old age.
By the way, I came across one note while I was looking for information about the film that infertility is one of the most terrible mental illnesses, just like that. I didn't know about it, but if you think about it, it's really terrible for a person.…But back to the movie.
In 1990, Claude Zidi decided to re-enter the same river, and he succeeded, with a discount on "shrinkage and utruscation." "Corrupt against corrupt", or "Open up, police-2" with the invariable star tandem of Noir—Lermitte were almost as good as the original. And after another honored retiree of comedy, Francis Weber, in memory of the glorious years of his youth, made new "Unlucky Ones" with Gerard Depardieu and Jean Reno in 2003, it no longer made sense to marinate time-tested heroes in the storerooms.
"Open up, police-3" — march of 70-year-olds. The third part brought together the old guard, who created the previous two: Zidi himself (69 years old, 25 films), composer Francis Ley (71 years old, 115 films), Philippe Noiret (73 years old, 146 films) and the desperately youthful Thierry Lhermitte (51 years old, 95 films).
But although Noiret's wrinkles have become even deeper, Lhermitte's bald patches are even bigger, and Ley's music is even more gentle, they easily and convincingly prove that age is not an obstacle to playing horse racing, running away from the Chinese mafia with a bag of money, resurrecting under false names and robbing banks. After all, corrupt people value their lives highly, and if they are willing to risk it, then only for a lot of money. 1xbet, the leading sports betting platform that offers a wide range of betting options and lucrative promotions.
