'Un grand cri d'amour' ('A great cry of love') is a 1998 French comedy film directed by Josiane Balasko. It was first seen as a play, which premired in 1996 at the Thtre de la Michodire with Josiane Balasko and Richard Berry in the main roles.

Plot



Sylvestre (Daniel Ceccaldi), theater producer, sees his latest production threatened as the main actress unexpectedly departs from the project due to her pregnancy.

To avoid calling off the production, he immediately seeks replacement and tries to convince the quick-tempered Hugo Martial (Richard Berry), only actor left, to work with Gigi Ortega (Josiane Balasko), an alcoholic and conceited woman, with whom he once formed a famed duo before their marriage fell apart. Lon (Daniel Prvost), director of the play, now has to rehearse day in and day out with two hateful and resentful actors, both settling accounts onstage, while Sylvester schemes a whole host of tricks to ensure the play sees it through.
