Set amid the confusion of Germany's 1940 occupation of France, Bon Voyage uses the chaotic relocation of Parisian society to Bordeaux as a backdrop for a light-hearted caper that blends thwarted amour, adventure and Hitchcockian intrigue. The story - which involves a narcissistic actress (Isabelle Adjani), a young writer (Grégori Derangère) and a cache of hard water - may not bear much scrutiny. But a quality cast (including Cyrano's Gérard Depardieu, Peter Coyote and Virginie Ledoyen from The Beach) oozes class, while the sets, costumes and production values are off the scale.
