Despite his shyness, Jerome (Julien Boisselier) takes a job as a traveling salesman, hitting the road with fellow hucksters Michel (Yvon Back), Jacques (Michel Duchaussoy) and Patrick (Étienne Chicot). Together, they extol the virtues of a multi-volume encyclopedia set to whoever has the bad luck to open the door to them. As the days go by, Jerome finds himself wearing down under the strains of the road -- not to mention the pressure of his quirky manager, Regis (Benoît Poelvoorde).

camille l On attendait un nouveau script de Benoît Poelvoorde avec impatience depuis C'est arrivé près de chez vous. Est arrivé Les Portes de la Gloire, un film qui marche dès qu'un de ses personnages médiocres lance des punchlines, mais qui peine à donner un vrai sens à son odyssée de vendeurs au porte-à-porte. Si quelques séquences font mouche et que la musique d'Alexandre Desplat est adéquate, le film de Christian Merret-Palmair manque d'un réel point de vue en dehors du cynisme vain dont il fait preuve, à l'image du personnage d'un effroyable Julien Boisselier, rarement aussi mauvais. Trop facile, trop avare en Benoît Poelvoorde, Les Portes de la Gloire passe un peu à côté de son sujet. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member comedie sous cotee assez marrante avec poelvoorde au sommet de sa forme Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Read all reviews
