If you grew up in Europe—or have ever dipped a toe into French pop culture—you know the names Asterix and Obelix. But among their many film adaptations, : Asterix and Obelix: Mission Cleopatra (2002). If she loses, Caesar gets to publicly humiliate her

The story begins in Lutetia (modern-day Paris), where Asterix and Obelix are enjoying a well-deserved break after their latest adventure. However, their tranquility is short-lived, as they soon receive an offer from Julius Caesar to travel to Egypt and help Queen Cleopatra build a palace. The catch? They must outdo the architect of the rival kingdom of Ptolemy, who is trying to sabotage Cleopatra's project. And don’t forget to ask: “Il est frais, mon poisson

Upon arriving in Egypt, Asterix and Obelix are struck by the grandeur of the pyramids, temples, and bustling streets of Alexandria. They soon meet Cleopatra, who is as cunning and intelligent as she is beautiful. As they begin working on the palace, they encounter a host of colorful characters, including the bumbling Egyptian architect, the villainous Ptolemy's agents, and a young Egyptian woman named Anepigraphos.

(original French title: Astérix & Obélix: Mission Cléopâtre ) is widely regarded as one of the most successful comic book adaptations in cinema history. Released in 2002, the film is based on the 1963 graphic novel Asterix and Cleopatra by René Goscinny and Albert Uderzo.

The English dub (titled Asterix & Obelix: Mission Cleopatra ) is… serviceable. But the film is best enjoyed in its original French with subtitles. The rhythm, the jokes, and the performances are inseparable from the language. If you don’t speak French, the subtitles will still deliver the physical comedy—and the heart.
