La Soupe aux Choux translation Cabbage Soup is a 1981 French film directed by Jean Girault, based on a novel by Ren Fallet. It was the second to last movie made by French comedian Louis de Funs.
One night, their farting summons an alien Jacques Villeret from the planet Oxo while Le Bomb is asleep. Glaude is awake to welcome the alien who can only communicate in a squealingsiren sound at first. Surprised Glaude communicates with him through rough sign language. Glaude then sends the alien off with a canister full of cabbage soup. The next day, we find out that Bomb had seen the flying saucer and Glaude tells him that there was no such thing. He goes to the police but he is dismissed by them as a loony. When he realizes that no one believes him he becomes very sad and Glaude is worried about him. Glaude then tricks him into hanging himself while he secretly cuts the rope so that he falls when he puts his weight on it. Its to show him that he doesnt want to die.The alien returns several times because of the cabbage soup that he was given. On his planet they eat minerals and to them cabbage soup is the most amazing thing ever. On the second meeting the alien has learned French and we are told that on his planet they live to 200, no more, no less. But trouble brews when the alien arranges to have Glaudes late wife resurrected at the age of 20. She runs away to Paris with a young man within a day of her resurrection. He also duplicates the Glaudes gold coin hundreds of times, making Glaude rich. Finally because of the effect of the delicious cabbage soup on Oxo, the alien offers Glaude, Bomb, and their cat residence on Oxo so that they could grow their cabbage and make cabbage soup. This would allow them all to live to the age of 200. Glaude initially rejects the proposition outright. ........
