On connait la chanson (1997) **

Meandering, seriously overrated French pic about boring Parisian neurotics. Frequently interrupted by non-sequitur musical numbers, in which the protagonist lip-synch to classic songs, "Pennies From Heaven"-style. It unexpectedly won the Cesar Award for best film, beating "Le Bossu", a far superior film in every respect.
