Scout toujours... (1985) YIFY - Download Movie TORRENT

Gérard Jugnot was a true scout in the sixties ,that's probably why he located his film in 1965 (even if the year were not mentioned at the beginning of terms, the comics the scouts read, the tubes of condensed milk and the fact that WW2 was not that much behind would be signs of the time ;it's his madeleine de Proust .It begins with "le chant de la promesse" ,a classic of the scouts song catalogue and it's a pity they did not use more songs ,for there are plenty of them.Gérard Jugnot is indisputably one of the best comic actors in France .In his chef scout uniform,he looks like a grown up kid,which he is: under an overpossessive mom's thumb who insists he take his suppository for the camp ,his adventure with his scouts looks like a rite of passage to adulthood : his boys laugh behind his back and the worst humiliation is to hear one of them read his mummy's letter.Unfortunately the really funny gags are few and far between ;it's sometimes heavy-handed and does not avoid clichés :a caricature of a gay for instance. The game (the scouts' games are often exciting :see for that matter some books of the scout lit in the "signe de piste" books collection .) is only a way to get rid of the burdensome boys ;the 30 km (=18 miles ) treasure hunt is a pretext to make the scoutmaster a man.Pleasant ,but sometimes ponderous.

A correct comic summer movie

I really like it as a child, because of the gags.But now as an adult, you can see a lot of things : the passage from young adult to a man, the sexual tension (gay, the prostitute ..., the abusive mother..) Jugnot is good actor, not necessary a good director, at least for this first film, but he did a correct job for this. It as a lot of caricatural things (the gispsy, the love interest, the gay scout, the prositute ...).. But I like the movie, It remember me when I saw it when I was a child, It as some good gag, some correct acting, sadly no music, or theme, the picture is normal, nothing fancy, and it has a 60's french country atmosphere that is great !A movie that you can watch once if you like those kind of "potache" humour.
