From writer/director Cédric Jimenez (Bac Nord), the all-star new thriller NOVEMBER is an edge-of-your seat deep-dive into one of the most incredible manhunts in European history.

NOVEMBER powerfully explores the perspective of the lead investigators of the French anti-terrorism services, working against the clock in the aftermath of the 2015 attacks across Paris.

The unit led by Héloise (Sandrine Kiberlain) and her closest associates, Fred (Jean Dujardin) and Inès (Anaïs Demoustier), having been caught off guard, assembles under immense pressure. With the Interior Ministry pushing for results, and almost overwhelmed with the weight of the responsibility, they’re faced with the near-impossible task of catching the culprits before they can strike again…

After premiering to acclaim at the 2022 Cannes Film Festival, NOVEMBER stormed the local box office in late 2022 to become the most successful French release of the year (achieving a spectacular 2.3 million+ admissions).

Focusing on the highly-charged pursuit – and the moral and ethical boundaries it pushes – rather than on the crimes themselves, Jimenez delivers breathtaking action and suspense. Fans of The Bureau and the iconic ‘policier’ thrillers of the 70s should not miss NOVEMBER.

Deerskin Movie Review

admin — Tue, 11 Aug 2020 16:04:58 +0000

You’ve never met someone like Georges (Jean Dujardin). He’s middle-aged, recently separated from his wife and on a crusade. A crusade to save the world perhaps? No to rid the planet from the evil of jackets. As his life unravels, he takes you the viewer along for a ride like no other.

It all starts when he pays seven thousand Euros (that’s over eleven thousand Australian dollars) to buy a relic from the seventies, a fringed deerskin jacket, that doesn’t fit. The seller gives him a video camera during the transaction and seals Georges’ fate.

Through lies and happenstance, he meets and befriends Denise (Adèle Haenel) a barmaid with bigger plans. She helps Georges with his obsession by editing the clips that he has recorded while on his quest. In the process, she also empties her bank account to keep the wayward filmmaker going.

Not quite a comedy and not quite a horror film, Deerskin does a great job of being hard to categorise. Filled with guilty laughs and more than a shovel full of absurdity, this work defies easy description and burrows its way into your mental back catalogue of what the f@#k films.
