Alphonse was a pure delight to watch. Other than the pure talent of Jean Dujardin, I didn't know what to expect.
I watched the serie in French and would say it is one of the most thoughtful and well-acted serie I have seen ever. It makes my top 10 EVER!
The storyline is original and brilliant. It allows to discover complex characters one by one and peel the onions with delight, combining laugh and tears. If you enjoyed the versatility of Jean Dujardin in "Un gars une Fille" you will not be disappointed here. He is a pure chameleon with humour, sensibility and depth.
The story has multiple layers which add to the pleasure of discovering where this unusual tale could go whilst addressing some of the larger philosophic implications.
The Direction is elegant and full of details that add spices to a well marinated sauce. This is similar to the excellent La Belle Epoque by the same Director.
I told about a dozen people during the Christmas break about this show. That was before seeing episodes 5 and 6 and now that I have completed, I can only confirm the build-up of story and characters does not disappoint. I am eager for more.
