(2015) 99 min. Veteran star Claude Brasseur plays the cantankerous Henri of the title in this riotous comedy of bad manners and good intentions. Bitterly opposed to the relationship between his son Paul and the flighty Valérie, Henri strikes upon a devious plan. He offers free board to attractive student Constance, who, desperate to make her own way, agrees to use her charms to drive the couple apart. (Not rated, but if rated would be PG-13, for occasional adult language and themes.) DVD, spoken in French with English subtitles.
