i need jacky jacquard from au service de la france and roman roy succession to meet so badly.

i was just a few hours ago looking at a video of jacquard and thinking : "wait who does he remind me of, in a very uncanny way ? oh, roman roy !!". which is funny since i watched au service de la france way before i first heard of succession.

they are both :

small little dogs (affectionate but also derogatory).

part of an iconic trio that sometimes become a quatuor (in this scenario merlaux has the role of connor).

when i looked up the fandom, apparently everyone called him gay despite the fact that i hadn't noticed (but i've been thinking a lot of times about the scene in prison with moulinier and yeah you all were right).

right winger/conservative.

classy and drippy to be honest.

played by an actor whose first name starts with "k".

obvious physical ressemblance and similar manierisms as well.

so, what would happen in that room ? gay ***, insults battle or both ? vote now at home and on your phones.

a few years ago i watched this french spy show on netflix (i don't think it's there anymore) called a very secret service. i generally enjoyed it alright but it contains a truly baffling subplot that still haunts me to this day.

basically what you need to know is a) the main character andré's father has been missing or presumed dead or something since before he was born and all he has left of him is a picture of his military unit; b) andré's boss served in the military with the missing dad, meaning he's also in that picture; c) andré is dating the boss' daughter but the boss wants them to break up, and so d) the boss tells andré that he's the aforementioned missing dad, hoping that his daughter and andré will break up on account of the (presumed) incest.

which would be fine, if a little convoluted, except that they had the actor who plays andré pose as his dad in this plot significant photograph so like. did they forget? are we supposed to assume andré has face blindness? are they playing 4d comedy chess where they seem to play this plot straight but we, the audience, are supposed to recognize that it's ridiculous that andré believes his boss might actually be his dad when he looks literally identical to his actual dad?

#a very secret service #au service de la france #(that's the french title) #the show is a comedy so maybe i'm just not sophisticated enough to recognize french humour #i also don't understand france french as well as i understand quebecois french bc i went to french immersion in canada #and most of my teachers were quebecois. so it's possible i missed something #every so often i'm going about my day and i suddenly think of this plot like hey what was that about?

more details about "a very secret service" yay !

so, me and @thequeenofspies got bored and spend an unholy time founding what cigarettes they are all smoking; here you go :

moulinier - "Royale Rouge"

(it was actually the easiest to find bro is always smoking i have so many screenshot of his pack of cigarettes)

jacquard - "Algeria"

(possibly the hardest, there's only one scene when you can kinda see it and it's so blury)

moïse - "Celtiques"

(i think we can see them in other shots but i'm lazy)

merlaux - "Gauloises"

(it's funny bc it's the light version of the Celtiques also this one was very easy too)

for calot, we can't tell bc he uses a little box where you put your cigarettes in so eh

and for mercaillon well fuck him i don't want to know

and i find those little details so cool bc it weirdly actually tells a lot about them ? like merlaux smokes des gauloises and they're the classic french cigarettes, very basic, almost a french symbol. moises smokes des celtiques, very french but older than the gauloises, more nicotines, i think we could say it link him to merlaux like an older him (and since he's his father figures it's rlly cute). jacquard smokes des algeria which is very obvious, he probably buy them when he's in alger and they are (according to my mom) cheaper so it goes with his money oriented mindset (+ it also goes with his love for his work zone and you can't tell me jacquard doesn't actually deeply love algeria bc i will not believe u this man is in his element there i will not elaborate). moulinier smokes des royales, kinda expensive cigarettes, very classy, goes with his lifestyle (champagne, fancy bars like the darling club, fancy clothes as we can see him wearing a lot of different suits). and as for calot, the fact that he uses a metal box for his cigarettes also tells a lot, he is a mysterious and paranoid character, probably doesn't want anyone to know anything about him (and we actually don't know a lot about him compared to other characters).

i rlly love all the little details in this tv show, i could spend hours looking for them and talking about them tbh, it is just so smart and well done.

I just finished my binge-watch of A Very Secret Service and this show has single handedly restored my faith in French cinema
