On peut toujours rêver

I wonder how far off the mark I'll be if I say now that I always see in One Can Always Dream an all too striking resemblance to The Intouchables, a film that is twenty years younger. Anything is possible. What is certain is that I liked Pierre Richard very much as a bored billionaire whose hobby is kleptomania. His opposite/co-star Smaïn was also good, the humor rode a gentle, quiet and almost mournful wave, and the Louvre scene was touching. The only thing that spoiled my good impression was a bald spy in a trench coat, who, on the orders of the Emperor's family, followed the night campaign of the main characters and acted rather stupid.
