I have had mixed luck showing it to non-francophones, though. There are plenty of gags but the movie's genius is in the language and it may not translate linguistically or culturally all that well.

This is a super iconic movie for French ppl. It's kind of hard to miss if you're there.
I showed it to Pamela awhile back and she laughed.

This was cheerfully grotesque, tho so blunt I imagine understanding some of the verbal stuff would've helped. Any helpline comedy that has a throwaway gag of a guy blowing his brains out in the first 15 minutes is OK by me.
