A day like any other in the Parisian metro – or maybe not? A young man sits quietly reading his book. A young woman is seated next to him. They have nothing in common, nor do they know each other in the slightest. In spite of this, something quiet unexpected occurs between them. In full view of all the other passengers. And yet, none of the other travellers seem to notice.
Directed by Guillaume Martinez, Penpusher leans on a strong ensemble — Benjamin Bellecour, Gaëlle Brunet, Régis Desfeux — 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 comedy titles of 2008.
