Cinema Wednesdays - Thierry Fivaz
Ten years ago, at the same time, in France and the French-speaking part of Switzerland, we were releasing Welcome to the Ch'tis (2008). The second film by actor and comedian Dany Boon, this now-famous comedy told the story of a Frenchman from the South (Kad Merad) who, to his dismay, is transferred to Bergues, a small town in the North of France, where he meets a kind-hearted Ch'ti (Dany Boon). This revival of the antagonistic tandem and the chemistry that emerged between the two actors immediately brought to mind some of the great successes of French popular cinema - such as La Grande Vadrouille (1966) - and is undoubtedly one of the reasons for the incredible success of this film, which sold twenty million tickets.
