Really, what’s up with his accent in those movies? Is that just how he talks?

french guy playing a scot. must be terribly confusing. my gf pointed out to me, though, that it’s funny that the only scottish actor in the movie is playing spaniard!

His face ruined it for me
Lambert has a quintessential French face, and that threw everything off in my book as my mother is Scottish and I can distinguish the look.

Almost
But this one adds the much needed beret, bottle of wine, cigarette, only fashionable in Paris clothes, and, soon to be, escargot. I don’t like the text blurb, though.

Isn't that a quote from Monty Python?
It’s brilliant.

Yeah, maybe
I didn’t understand the quote which made me not like the text, but I figured that it was alluding to something.

yeah...
it’s at least referring to the snooty (redundant?) french knights in the holy grail.
