A brilliant parody
20 June 2001
"Delusion of grandeur" is a brilliant parody, full of amazing inventions, inspired by "Ruy Blas", the play written by Victor Hugo.

Louis de Funes, Alice Sapritch and Yves Montand create a perpetual movement, an exalting dynamics of derision : they are worthy of the best artists of burlesque.Moreover, the music composed by Michel Polnareff is one of the most expressive illustration devised for a sophisticated and spectacular bubble of happiness. In fact, Gerard Oury, the laughing emperor of French comedies and his daughter, Daniele Thompson, had created a splendid miracle : they had permitted, that Spanish frenzy and classical elegance had been associated, to offer a fascinating panorama of slapstick country. Yes, "Grandeur" says the best word to describe this strange alchemy, which catches the ludicrous vanities of human being, to transform them into jewels of non-sense.
