	village voice > film > The Dinner Game: matchstick man by Jessica Winter
		In the Annals of Idiocy— there with Dan Quayle, Charles Bovary, and Debbie Matenopoulos—surely a place is reserved for Pignon (Jacques Villeret), a portly, hapless French civil servant who spends his spare time constructing matchstick models of famous buildings.
		Just moments after meeting him, Brochant (Thierry Lhermitte), a smugly well-to- do publisher, knows he's found a diamond in the rough—he and his pals like to hold "idiot dinners," where they compete to bring the stupidest guest.
		Clever, snappy, and inconsequential, it's essentially a two-character sketch, and one that never strains for a laugh (Lhermitte's subtle air of bemused fatalism toward the end of the film is funny in itself).

		They set up a scoring system so that whomever invites the biggest clown to dinner wins.
		For this dinner, Pierre (Thierry Lhermitte), with the help of a friend, has found a bumbling heavy-set man named Francois Pignon (Jacques Villeret), who delightedly builds matchstick models of famous architectural structures (he is proud of the fact that he used 346,000 matchsticks to build his model of the Eiffel Tower).
		Unfortunately, Pierre has injured his back and is unable to attend the dinner, but since he has already invited Pignon over for a drink he decides to keep him company for a while.
