“La Chèvre” (France, 1981, 95’) is the first of three buddy movies starring Gérard Depardieu and Pierre Richard as a comedy duo. The film was nominated for Best Foreign Language Film of 1985 by the U.S. National Board of Review of Motion Pictures.

La Chèvre features Depardieu as the tough-guy private detective Campana, hired to find Marie, the daughter of a rich businessman, who has mysteriously disappeared while vacationing in Mexico.

Richard’s character Perrin is an awkward, accident-prone accountant who works for the businessman, and is chosen to implement the scheme. The adventures of an odd duo begin…
