At thirty, Brice still has yet to make the transition from adolescence
to adulthood, not that he is any hurry. He is quite happy
sponging off his wealthy father and enjoying the carefree life of a
teenager. His latest obsession is surfing, which is slightly
problematic since he lives on a region of the coast whose defining
characteristic is a complete lack of anything resembling a surf.
Undeterred, Brice cherishes his surfboard and hosts riotous beach
parties, living the surf life without the surf. When his father
is arrested for money laundering, Brice's world suddenly falls
apart. Being unfit for work of any kind, the only way he can now
sustain his lifestyle is to rob a bank...

The best French Films of the 1910s
In the 1910s, French cinema led the way with a new industry which actively encouraged innovation. From the serials of Louis Feuillade to the first auteur pieces of Abel Gance, this decade is rich in cinematic marvels.
It was American film noir and pulp fiction that kick-started the craze for thrillers in 1950s France and made it one of the most popular and enduring genres.
Since the 1920s, Hollywood has dominated the film industry, but that doesn't mean American cinema is all bad - America has produced so many great films that you could never watch them all in one lifetime.
