Robert et Robert

About This Movie

So, 'Robert et Robert' is this quirky French comedy where you have two guys, both named Robert, played by Charles Denner and Jacques Villeret. The humor here is pretty dry and the pacing makes you lean into those moments of awkwardness. The whole vibe revolves around loneliness, which both Roberts share, and their attempts to connect through this early computer dating service. It's a fascinating look at human connection through technology, especially for its time. Their performances are charmingly contrasting; Denner has this more cynical edge while Villeret brings a naive warmth. It's just one of those films that quietly captures the essence of its era without trying too hard.

This film has had a fairly limited release over the years, making it somewhat elusive for collectors. The DVD editions can be found, but good luck finding quality prints. Interest in the film seems to have grown, especially among fans of French comedies and character-driven stories. Original posters and memorabilia might pop up occasionally, but they certainly don’t flood the market.
