Le Mac (2010)
Directed by Pascal Bourdiaux

Comedy / Crime

Film Synopsis

Chapelle is the archetypal bank employee: dull, unadventurous, in short a Grade A wimp.  But his life takes a more exciting turn when the cops burst into his office one day and make him an offer he cannot refuse.  To his amazement, Chapelle learns that he has a twin brother, a notorious pimp named Ace le Mac.  The French police have received information that Le Mac is planning a spectacular criminal exploit with another gangster and are determined to thwart it, with Chapelle's help.  The timid banker has a choice.  He can either spend the next twenty years rotting in jail or he can impersonate his brother.  Chapelle has just thirty seconds to make up his mind....

The brighter side of Franz Kafka
sb-img-1
In his letters to his friends and family, Franz Kafka gives us a rich self-portrait that is surprisingly upbeat, nor the angst-ridden soul we might expect.
The very best fantasy films in French cinema
sb-img-30
Whilst the horror genre is under-represented in French cinema, there are still a fair number of weird and wonderful forays into the realms of fantasy.
The very best period film dramas

Is there any period of history that has not been vividly brought back to life by cinema? Historical movies offer the ultimate in escapism.
