Francis Veber

French film director and screenwriter known for sharp comedies and character-driven films.

Veber is known for writing and directing comedies that focus on social satire and character dynamics; La Cena Dei Cretini (Le Dîner de Cons) is among his notable films.

A reflective review of Francis Veber's La Cena Dei Cretini that reads the film as both comedy and character drama. It examines the paradox of who is the 'fool' through the performances of Thierry Lhermitte and Jacques Villeret. The anticipated titular dinner never occurs; interruptions and unexpected moments drive the film's suspense.
