About
Synopsis
Quarter to Two Before Jesus Christ (1982), Jean Yanne's French comedy, is available to watch online on iFILM. Julius Caesar is busy staging an extravagant reception for Cleopatra while his citizens scrape by in poverty and quietly plot a revolt. A hapless servant ends up caught in the middle of a conspiracy against Caesar without really intending to be.
Coluche, Michel Serrault, and Yanne himself play this peplos parody with gleeful irreverence. The anachronisms are shameless, the humor runs crude, and the genre's epic self-importance gets punctured at every turn — which is exactly the joke. Stream Quarter to Two Before Jesus Christ (1982) online on iFILM.
