1. Were you offended by what you saw?
Why? Why not?
2. Does the movie deal with the subject of homosexuality with respect or
in a sarcastic way?
3. What is the main theme? (Homosexuality or the perception of others?)
4 You have seen Gerard Depardieu several times. In this movie you
see Daniel Auteuil for the first time. In your opinion, who is the more
impressive actor? Why?
5. Francis Veber is the director of the very successful "La cage
aux folles" and "The Dinner Game". Both movies were
remade as American movies in Hollywood as "Birdcage" and
"Dinner for Schmucks". Why was "The Closet"
not remade? |
