Life Is a Long Quiet River
- Life Is a Long Quiet River
"Life Is a Long Quiet River" (French: "La vie est un long fleuve tranquille") is a French comedy by Étienne Chatiliez of 1988.
Plot
In a maternity clinic two children from families with completely different social backgrounds are switched at birth. One goes on to live in an upper middle class family while the other to a poor family. Twelve years later, the mistake is discovered and the children are sent to live with their proper family. A series of satirical and comedic scenes follow.
Cult Status
Due in part to the film's being shown on French television rather often, it has gained a sort of cult following among young French people. The song 'Jésus Reviens' sung at church in the film is instantly recognisable to many French youth as a key example of the film's many satirical digs at the French Catholic bourgeois culture in the era it was filmed.
