Description of this Poster Papy Fait De La Résistance
Papy fait de la résistance is a 1983 French war comedy directed by Jean-Marie Poiré.
Héléna Bourdelle, alias “La Bourdelle”, is a world-renowned opera singer and the wife of maestro André Bourdelle. They live in a luxurious mansion in Paris, with their three grown children – Bernadette, Colette, and Guy-Hubert – and André’s father, nicknamed “Papy”. When Nazi Germany occupied France, André became the leader of a resistance cell, but was killed by an accidental grenade explosion. Two years later, the family’s mansion was requisitioned by the German occupation authorities to house General Hermann Spontz of the Wehrmacht, who was transferred from the Eastern Front to Paris. The Germans brutally invade the entire house and leave the family to occupy the cellar, complaining to the Kommandantur about the excesses of Spontz and his men. During their stay at the Kommandantur, Madame Bourdelle, her daughter Bernadette, and Michel Taupin, a tenant of the house, accidentally help a British RAF airman escape, and are then forced to hide him in their cellar.
Michel Taupin unsuccessfully courts Bernadette, after initially having his sights set on Colette. His insistent desire to join the Resistance leads him to numerous adventures. Imprisoned after the episode at the Kommandantur, he meets a resistance fighter, Félix, who confides in him, thinking he is going to be shot by the Germans. When they are freed by an elusive vigilante nicknamed “Super-Resistant,” Félix finds himself unable to get rid of Michel.
The family is also persecuted by Adolfo Ramirez, the former guard of the Paris Opera, a fervent collaborationist turned Gestapo agent. Ramirez seeks revenge on the Bourdelles, but they are protected by General Spontz, an admirer of Héléna Bourdelle and who has a soft spot for Bernadette. Ramirez finally discovers that Guy-Hubert, the family’s son, a seemingly cowardly and effeminate hairdresser, is in fact the “Super-Resistance” and Félix’s boss, but Spontz doesn’t believe him.
Having sworn not to sing while there were Germans in France, Madame Bourdelle is forced by General Spontz to attend a reception in honor of Hitler’s half-brother, Field Marshal Ludwig von Apfelstrudel, which is being held in a château near Paris. With the help of Michel Taupin, the Resistance plans to detonate a bomb in the dining room. The operation fails and the Bourdelles and Taupin are about to be arrested, but they are saved by Super-Resistant, who captures von Apfelstrudel and all the German generals, with the help of his men and Papy.
The story seems to end, but turns out to be a “film within a film” and gives way to a contemporary televised debate, intended to address the period of the occupation and to reflect the reality of the events described in the film. The program brings together Bernadette Bourdelle and General Spontz (now married), Guy-Hubert, Adolfo Ramirez Jr. (Ramirez’s son, who came from Bolivia to defend his father’s memory), and Michel Taupin (now Minister of Veterans Affairs). The discussion quickly turns disastrous: Ramirez Jr. insults and defames the other protagonists of the story, who begin to hit him on the television set, forcing the host to cut the transmission.
