Le bahut va craquer is a 1981 French comedy directed by Michel Nerval and starring Michel Galabru , Claude Jade , Darry Cowl and Fanny Bastien .

action

The students of a French high school are annoyed. On the one hand there is the lesson: the authoritarian philosophy teacher, the clumsy math teacher, the arrogant English teacher and the lazy substitute teacher prevent the students from doing their free time. They prefer to watch a comrade's naked sister through a hole in the wall while bathing. Then the pregnant classmate Bea is supposed to leave school. The students imprison the principal, the philosophy teacher and the math teacher without further ado. The three are said to be raised in captivity and also to withdraw the reprimand of the pregnant Bea. While the police are surrounding the school building, the philosophy teacher is doing kitchen duty inside and gets a slap on the bottom from young admirers, which she doesn't like at all. In the end, teachers and students are reconciled and dance together in the schoolyard to a concert by the band Factory.

Remarks

After a supporting role in David Hamilton's soft porno Tender Cousins , Fanny Bastien plays her first leading role here before she became known with the series Dorothee, the tightrope walker and the film Engel aus Staub . Henri Guybet plays - again at the side of Claude Jade (as a philosophy teacher) - a substitute teacher ( le pion ) like three years earlier in the comedy A Pauker zum Falling in love ( Le pion ).

The title “Le bahut va craquer” means something like “The penne is about to burst” or “The school will fall apart”. Bahut means chest, large suitcase, sideboard or penne for a lyceum (lycée).

Reviews

"It's the many clichés that drown the film as a mirage and defuse the water pistol that was just being waved." (Image et Son, 1981)
