To a certain extent, I'd bring in what happens in Joey and Chandler's apartment in <em>Friends<\/em>, and, above all, everything that happens in the excellent <em>Withnail and I<\/em>. Here's the recipe: take two best friends, who are to each other a little more than a brother, a little less than a wife; put them under the same roof; don't forget to add a lot of alcohol, that indispensable ingredient to such an existence; then confront these two outcasts with a new environment that will do nothing to suit them. The plot is simple, but it's a joy to watch!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Whereas in <em>Withnail and I<\/em>, From the story of two young Londoners, as broke as they were profligate, who \u00abmistakenly went on vacation to the country\u00bb, we follow the adventures of two country folk, two old specimens of a race of men on the brink of extinction, a race whose way of life hasn't changed one iota since the invention of agriculture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;We can say without hesitation that what we call the simple life has found its perfect expression in this plot of land in France: we eat soup, we do a bit of gardening, we relieve ourselves and we grow old on a bench, without even having to undergo the discipline of a wife; but above all, for as long as we can remember, the day has found its natural rhythm in the shots of \u00abpetits canons\u00bb (\u00abfive or six liters\u00bb) that we hasten to send each other, as if life depended on it. When Ch\u00e9rasse says: \u00abWell... it's not all that father, but you're making me late! The time is the time; and it's time for the perniflard!\u00bb, there's no need to balk at his level of diabetes; we comply on the spot, and at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the years, friendship, which will always find the official language far too harsh, has taken care to reshape it in its own image: the foreigner is called \u00abLa Denr\u00e9e\u00bb; the names \u00abLe Glaude\u00bb and \u00abLe Bomb\u00e9\u00bb are used in response; and back in the day, \u00abla Francine\u00bb was \"arranged\". To tell the truth, although we sometimes agree to integrate outsiders, as long as they adjust their flow to local customs, the majority of those who are foreign to this closed circle will see themselves pushed back; for they are well aware that it is only from the outside that catastrophe can arise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1500\" src=\"http:\/\/leregardlibre.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/La-Soupe-aux-choux-3-\u00a9-Films-A2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-32385\" srcset=\"https:\/\/leregardlibre.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/La-Soupe-aux-choux-3-\u00a9-Films-A2.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/leregardlibre.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/La-Soupe-aux-choux-3-\u00a9-Films-A2-585x878.jpg 585w, https:\/\/leregardlibre.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/La-Soupe-aux-choux-3-\u00a9-Films-A2-100x150.jpg 100w, https:\/\/leregardlibre.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/La-Soupe-aux-choux-3-\u00a9-Films-A2-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/leregardlibre.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/La-Soupe-aux-choux-3-\u00a9-Films-A2-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/leregardlibre.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/La-Soupe-aux-choux-3-\u00a9-Films-A2-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/leregardlibre.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/La-Soupe-aux-choux-3-\u00a9-Films-A2-300x450.jpg 300w, https:\/\/leregardlibre.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/La-Soupe-aux-choux-3-\u00a9-Films-A2-600x900.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Always a tragic end<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Throughout these stories, we are warned, more or less subtly, that the sacred union cannot last, and they conclude with a tragic heartbreak: in <em>Friends<\/em>, Chandler will find a wife in Monica; in <em>Whitnail and I<\/em>, the vain appeal of a healthy, active life will eventually separate the two splendid unemployed; indeed, it's the same criminal voice that will drive away La Francine and separate the stuntman from the actor in <em><a href=\"https:\/\/leregardlibre.com\/en\/cinema\/once-upon-a-time-quentin-tarantino\/\">Once upon a time in Hollywood<\/a><\/em>. There's nothing more dramatic than divorce, since it's only ever desired by one side, since it's a betrayal, since it's only injustice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>In <em>La Soupe aux choux<\/em> however, it wasn't between the two friends, but with Le Progr\u00e8s, that monster straight out of the 19th century.<sup>th<\/sup> No one was left behind, not even the most remote corners of the Old Continent, from the backward valleys of the Jura to the empty plains of the Bourbonnais.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So it is that the mayor, driven by that vigor proper to the industrious philistine, boasts to anyone who will listen, even to the two \u00abold fossils\u00bb, that the village lacks a \u00abjob-creating economic expansion\u00bb; one of those that offer no other prospects than the perpetual affairism already lamented by Thoreau. Housing estates are needed to turn the village into a dormitory town! To keep the newcomers occupied, a leisure park will be built, with restaurants, refreshment stands, swings and even a \u00abmonkey rock\u00bb! Next to Le Glaude's house, there will be a magnificent \u00abparking lot for four thousand cars\u00bb; and on its grounds \u00abten thousand deckchairs and music\u00bb! What effervescence!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Departure or suicide<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>On the verge of a heart attack, his shotgun in hand, Le Bomb\u00e9 gives him this masterly order: \u00abYou've got to get the hell out! You've got to get out of here! Fate would prove him wrong; only they would have to leave. Indeed, we had to turn away from the horrific sight of the invasion of our little island of peace, orchestrated by bulldozers \u00bbthat snore your ears\u00ab and new roofs that obscured the sun as much as they disturbed the serenity. From then on, in order to continue cultivating this virtuous existence, this art of living and this calm from time immemorial, the two die-hards had to resolve to leave for a place that doesn't exist - the planet Oxo, where people live for two hundred years, and so does the cat...<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Write to the author:&nbsp;<a
