Overview
- Released in cinemas, the Franco‑Belgian black comedy follows Valentin, a broke father who reappears after two decades and pulls his son Joseph and daughter‑in‑law Alice into a chaotic kidnapping plot.
- The ensemble pairs Melvil Poupaud with Asia Argento, Marine Vacth, Nahuel Pérez Biscayart, Raïka Hazanavicius, Julie Chen, and Harpo Guit.
- Early press reaction includes a 2 out of 5 review from La Provence, which praises risky choices yet finds the film uneven and says its foray into the world of so‑called snuff films feels underdeveloped.
- France Inter featured Poupaud in a release‑day radio spot that highlighted the cast and the director‑actor reunion, while La Provence’s review stressed tonal whiplash and quick fade from memory.
- The feature runs 1 hour 24 minutes and continues Guit’s pulp‑tinged style from his 1990s work with Poupaud, following their earlier films Le ciel est à nous and Les kidnappeurs.
