Les Infideles

Les Infideles (France, 2012) - A comedy of extramarital manners in several unconnected chapters, "The Players" is an odd beast that, like all omnibus films, is only as strong as its weakest link. Recent Oscar winner Jean Dujardin and Gallic colleague Gilles Lellouche star in and co-wrote the pic's six shorts and also handled helming duties on the gaudy, unimaginative Las Vegas-set closing seg. Remaining episodes are helmed by different directors, including "The Artist's" Michel Hazanavicius, who successfully taps into a more reserved register of Dujardin's talent. Local release has been doing boffo biz, though elsewhere, marketing this amoral hodgepodge might prove more problematic. 2012MONic.
