Nov 20, 2006 · Obituary
The film was directed by Francis Girod, who distinguished himself in the 1970s with his sardonic black comedies Le Trio infernal (1974) and René la canne (1976). In later years, Girod never regained the inspiration and flair that he showed in his early films, and Un ami parfait , the last film he made before his death in 2006, exemplifies his decline towards mediocrity.
