Beautiful sceneries well shot and an interesting story
Another Belmondo classic 7/10
"Itinéraire d'un enfant gâté" is another emotional movie starring Jean Paul Belmondo, The movie's plot surrounds over a rich and known man in France, with a enterprise. Seeking to dissappear and live freely away from reality.
At this point he fakes his own death and goes to libe in Africa, where he encounters a young man who works for him and decides he'll be his secsesor.
The movie has a nonlinear narrative in order to increase the viewer's interest in the film. Which works perfectly, the first time I've seen the movie I was really moved and attached to the way the exposition was presented.
Both Belmondo and Richard Anconina are perfect and acts so well together. Though I felt a little skeptical about the ending I assure you it is a lovely experience, not a massive French film hit, but a sensible one.
