Vous habitez chez vos parents

Vous habitez chez vos parents is a French comedy film directed by Michel Fermaud and released in 1983. Its cast includes well-known French performers of the era such as Claire Maurier, Isabelle Mergault, Jacques Legras and Michel Galabru. As its title suggests, the picture plays on the idea of a grown child still living under the parents' roof, turning domestic friction and generational tensions into comedy. The film belongs to the tradition of popular French screen comedies of the early 1980s, leaning on character humour and the chemistry of its ensemble rather than elaborate plotting. Fermaud's direction keeps the focus on the performers, several of whom came from the stage, and on the everyday absurdities of family life.
