Ça va pas la tête !!? ("Are you not right in the head!!?") is a French sports comedy film directed by Raphaël Delpard, originally released in 1978.
Delpard is best known for directing some of the few French films of the horror genre back in the 1980s such as Night of Death and Clash, but he also directed some more family-friendly comedy movies such as this one.
The movie also notably features former rugby player Walter Spanghero in one of the roles.
Premise
A mediocre rugby team in Périgord is trying its best to become better. They decide to lie and fool a rugby champion (Walter Spanghero) so they can convince him to become their coach.
Availability
This movie seems to have never been aired again anywhere after its original release, with no DVD or digital distribution/viewing.
There have been at least three different VHS releases, but have become extremely rare and elusive. One of those used to be listed on eBay. However, whoever owns an usable VHS copy hasn't shared its contents anywhere.
According to a VHS forum (that has now shut down), Raphaël Delpard himself said he doesn't have access to his own movie, but knows of the VHS. However, he doesn't even know the name of the society holding the distribution rights.
