About this product

Product Information

Based on the original '60s French comic books by René Goscinny, ASTÉRIX & OBÉLIX: MISSION CLÉOPÂTRE is the big-budget sequel to the 1999 box-office hit ASTÉRIX AND OBÉLIX VS. CAESAR. Empress Cleopatra (Monica Bellucci) makes a wager with Julius Caesar (played by writer/director Alain Chabat) that her people can build a beautiful palace in three months. She chooses architect Numerobis (Jamel Debbouze) for the project, which must be completed in time or he will be fed to the crocodiles. Numerobis travels to Gaul to get help from the superpowered Panoramix (Claude Rich) and the warriors Astérix (Christian Clavier) and Obélix (Gérard Depardieu), along with their faithful pet Dogmatix. They use their magic potion to make the Egyptian slave-labor population into superheroes, thereby building the palace in no time. Meanwhile, the angry architect Amonbofis (Gérard Darmon) and Julius Caesar don't want to see them succeed. At the time of its release, ASTÉRIX & OBÉLIX: MISSION CLÉOPÂTRE was the most expensive French film ever made, with a budget of $50 million.

  • Delightful, especially if you understand French!

    I love this film and saw it in a cinema years ago in the original French (we live in Quebec). It's brilliantly and lavishly done and I'm glad to own it now. The one drawback is the sound on the DVD: if you want to hear the dialogue (which I do, it's wildly funny), you have to crank up the volume - and then the background music (which is terrific) will deafen you. If only DVD makers took the same care as the film crew and actors... Despite the uneven sound, it's still a great film. Now that I own it, I'll watch it often, it's a good way to relax after a stressful day.

  • Good value for a French DVD

    Since I speak French and I love Astérix comics, I love the movie. And the subtitles in French follow almost exactly what the actors are saying. So if something isn't clear to my ears, I can read it and see what they said if I choose to do that. The product was exactly as advertised.
