Louis de Funes has been one of my favorite actors since childhood and I usually watch his films with a considerable amount of nostalgia. Hibernatus is one of the comedies that arrived much later when I had already shifted my perspective as a viewer and became somewhat tired of Funes' acting, which is based on a single type of hot-tempered choleric persona (although perfected over the years). Within the genre and considering when it was made, it may have been a decent film, but time cannot be stopped and it cannot be ignored that the film practically relies on a single idea... If I want to see a film about hibernation, I would rather choose Sexmission. Overall impression 45%. ()
Hibernatus combines a wacky comedy with the sci-fi idea of hibernation and then waking up after a number of decades in a funny way. Both Louis de Funès and Claude Gensac do a very good job and deliver many a humorous scene that made me laugh from the heart, like the first meeting with "grandpa", the nightly reading of a poem or the macabre story about the dead wife.
