Standout Aspects

Acting

Jean Carmet's magnificent patheticness—Depardieu smolders, Piccoli sneers.

Direction

Rouffio's 70s Paris is gloriously seedy and aspirational.

Writing

Satire sharp enough to make Ponzi schemes feel almost quaint.

Best for:Streaming: Late night with wine and zero financial responsibilities.·Solo: When you need to feel smarter than the protagonist.·Friends: French cinema night where someone's pretending to get the jokes.
