Completed in just an hour and a half, (re)discover this comedy that bent actor Pierre Niney in half when he saw it for the first time.
Eric and Ramzy at the top of their game! Discover or (re)discover their best film, La Tour Montparnasse infernale, an absurd and action comedy currently available on Prime Video.
At the time, Eric and Ramzy were known for the program Les Mots d’Eric et Ramzy, and were the stars with Jamel Debbouze of the H series, which was a hit on Canal+. It was between two seasons of the series that they shot La Tour Montparnasse infernale, their first appearance at the cinema as a headliner, and we can say that the result is up to par!

It is not Pierre Niney who will say the opposite, since AlloCiné had asked him about his best memory in a cinema, and he then confided to us:
I’m 11, it’s the first time I’ve been allowed to go to the movies with my friends, without the parents. And I see myself sitting between two rows, on the floor, crying with laughter, unable to get up for 10 minutes. And the audio of the film still revives my giggles. And the room gives off a crazy electricity, it exults and carries the film even further. I find it truly magical. And I think comedies were designed like that, from Chaplin to Buster Keaton. To be projected in front of people. And the power of comedy, when there is this encounter, this alchemy, between the film and the spectators, what operates is of a completely crazy power. That day, the magic worked, in front of La Tour Montparnasse infernale at Gaumont Montparnasse, therefore at the foot of the Tour Montparnasse.
Directed by Charles Nemes (H, Heroes don’t have cold ears), the comedy alternates moments of pure style Eric the clown and Ramzy the august, all passed through the grinder of absurd humor sprinkled with parody of Crystal trap, among others.

All the replicas are cult, from “Wow, that’s like four-shoe pizzas!” To “Stop! Or I’ll shoot my head in the hand!” Passing by “Remark once, I went to bed at ten past midnight. Hello how tired I was afterwards!” And if you don’t have these references, rush on this great moment of comedy, which lasts 1h30 and no more!
