It remains one of the most accurate film interpretations of a comic-strip source to date. Actor/director Alain Chabat was an inspired choice to bring Goscinny & Uderzo’s classic story to the screen, deftly melding the sophisticated (and occasionally Classical) wit of the dialogue with expertly-timed elements of visual farce. A huge hit in its native France, Astérix & Obélix: Mission Cléopatre seems to have righted all the wrongs committed by its less-than-stellar predecessor, Claude Zidi’s Astérix & Obélix Contre César (1999). Proof at last that it’s possible to adapt dearly-loved comic-strip characters to a big-screen, live-action format without betraying the style and wit of the original work. Cast: Christian Clavier, Gerard Depardieu, Claude Rich, Monica Bellucci, Alain Chabat, Jamel Debbouze. Astérix & Obélix: Mission Cléopatreĭ/S: Alain Chabat.
