Second, unlike Bush and Gore, Bradley doesn't mention God during his poetic flights. He is a believer--he was raised a Presbyterian, passed through a period of Christian Fundamentalism while young, but then rejected what he has since called "the narrowness of view" of evangelicals.

Unwittingly, Pignon manages to unravel almost every part of Bronchant's chic life, from his wife and mistress to his furnishings and fine wine. Yet the farce never becomes a simple enactment of poetic justice; no matter how much Veber paints Pignon as a really likeable, sweet guy who makes matchstick models of famous monuments such as the Eiffel Tower to numb his broken heart, he remains the idiot. All the misadventures he causes stem from his kindness and gratitude toward Bronchant. This...
