The Great Zoo of Mr. Vanel

At Vanel's zoo, there is Rafael, Ludovic and the elegant Mr. Vanel. There is also Philippe, the little monkey, and a very discreet panda, not to mention the Dutch tourists. When Marthe, the young and inexperienced accountant arrives to save the zoo's finances, she has no idea of the strange world she is entering into. That's because Mr. Vanel's zoo is not exactly an ordinary zoo.

Directed by Bérenger Thouin, The Great Zoo of Mr. Vanel leans on a strong ensemble — Thibault de Montalembert, Alice de Lencquesaing, Pierre-Antoine Billon — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 2015.
