Storia
Gerard Depardieu plays a sleazy Paris nightclub owner and ex-detective named Charles, who learns that his friend has been murdered by the Chinese mob in Hong Kong. The friend's young son, Paul, is left behind. Charles flies to Hong Kong to rescue the boy and leaves him in the care of an earnest priest, Father Bouillont (Christian Clavier), to escort back to Paris. Throughout their journey, they are shadowed by their guardian angels, one good and one evil, who often intervene in human affairs. Upon arriving in Paris, Charles' twin brother, Jerome, a thief and liar, tries to steal Paul's inheritance. Chaos ensues as the two brothers compete for the boy's affection while also dealing with their respective guardian angels.
Riassunto
Les anges gardiens is a 1995 French comedy film directed by Jean-Marie Poiré. It stars Gerard Depardieu as Charles, a nightclub owner and ex-detective in Paris who becomes involved in a globe-trotting adventure to rescue his friend's son from the dangerous streets of Hong Kong. The film blends action, comedy, and fantasy elements as it explores the concept of guardian angels, with each main character accompanied by their own angelic entity, one representing good and the other evil. The story also touches on themes of temptation, redemption, and the struggle between good and bad influences in our lives.
