If only he could graduate to the ranks of hitmen, who are honored in his world, perhaps then he would feel more like somebody. He finally gets his chance when he receives instructions to kill the eminent hitman Max, who knows too much to be left alive. Instead of planning a cool and distant hit, Jeremie gets to know his quarry personally and thereby gets entangled in a mass of conflicting allegiances.

本片由法国著名导演帕特利斯•勒贡特执导，他的电影题材十分多元，从探讨疯子、性别问题到悄悄解构人类智慧文明，使他成为法国倍受尊崇的导演之一。而男性之间的情谊，更成为勒贡特的电影里常常出现的主题，《大公爵》正是如此，以三个男人之间的友谊为主线，讲述了一段令人啼笑皆非的故事。据说帕特利斯•勒贡特刚从法国最著名的电影学院毕业时，并没有立即投入电影的创作中，而是当起漫画家来，替法国的杂志画卡通，但另一方面他也开始制作一些传奇卡通短片。这些经验替他日后相当风格化的喜剧片品牌，竖立了别具一格的幽默感。《大公爵》充满笑料，但又不乏深刻思考，正是帕特利斯•勒贡特的喜剧经典之作，相信一定不会令观众失望。
