Barbara marries Julien a charming and sexy man. Barbara's old flame Paul is highly suspicious of Julien. It seems Julien's previous two wives died under dubious circumstances and he collected a wad of insurance money as a result. Paul cannot ignore his misgivings, and so he follows Barbara and Julien to Morocco on their honeymoon, intent on preventing any harm to the woman he still loves.

The Bodyguard Audience Reviews

VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
Dirtylogy It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
Janis One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
dbdumonteil This entertaining comedy begins like an old movie by Jean -Paul Le Chanois ,'"Agence Matrimoniale " (1951):an accountant (Jugnot) works for his bossy mom's marriage bureau;et 33,he is still under her thumb and his fiancée cheats on him with one of his friends ;he meets Barbara (Birkin) and falls in love with her ,but she prefers Julien ,a more handsome guy, who manages a zoo ;but this good-looking chap 's first two wives died (in mysterious circumstances?) and our accountant,Paul, is miserable and is afraid Barbara should meet the same fate as the alleged victims; as they flew to Morocco for their honeymoon, he follows them ;then the film continues as a spoof on films noirs : does the husband really want to get rid of his new wife?Is Julien a handsome smiling man a murderer? Sami Frey is convincing in a part which will remind you of that of Cary Grant in "suspicion" ,relatively speaking of course; only his motives remain obscure: there's no hint at a whole-life insurance ,for instance .Paul becomes the bride's bodyguard ,but Barbara is blind to what could well be murder attempts;she as clueless and as naive as her attentive escort is oafish .The supporting characters ,with one exception ,are funny: the wife who does not want a souk item anymore, after her husband 's bargaining ;the hypochondriac who mistakes Paul for a doctor and harasses him for a piece of medical advice ;on the other hand,gays may be infuriated: the so called tennis player looking for a partner is naive,dumb, demeaned ..In spite of this regrettable character,which should have been suppressed,this is a buoyant little comedy;filmed on location in Morocco,it takes advantage of its splendid landscapes.The three principals rise to the occasion.Jane Birkin 's part will remind you of those she played opposite Pierre Richard in the precedent decade.
