Matchstick Kits – Everything Matchstick

Le Diner Des Cons

Le Diner Des Cons (or The Dinner Game) is a 1998 comedy written and directed by Francis Veber.

Each week a group of friends get together for dinner and they have to bring an “idiot” along with them and at the end of the evening, the guests have to decide who is the biggest “idiot”.


Now you may be wondering why I am writing about a movie called Le Dine Des Cons, but in the movie, the “idiot scout”, Pierre Brochant manages to find a “gem”, François Pignon, a Finance Ministry employee whose passion is building replicas of landmarks with matchsticks.

This site is about everything connected to matchstick kits and during the film, you can see some of his matchstick models. Below in the video he shows some of the photos.

Brochant pretends that he want Pignon to show him and his friends his wonderful collection of models, but they only want to laugh at him.

Brochant however, hurts his back and is not able to attend the party and is stuck with Pignon all night. Of course Pignon wants to help and the scene goes from bad to worse. If you get a chance to watch it and you understand French that’s great. If not sorry, but you will have to wait for the remake which is proposed for release this year

It is rumored that Robin Williams will be in the new version.

Until then hope you enjoy Le Diner Des Cons
