Fool's Game

Mikael, Skip and P'tit Louis are planning a big job. In his car, Michael pulls out his hair by making P'tit Louis repeat the insults that he will have to utter to Perron's secretary. Perron (Miki Manojlovic) is the producer they have come to bully for ignoring their script seven times in a row. The three guys have a grudge against the entire film industry. What they are looking for is a minimum of interest in their plot, a deign to read their script. So they take the producer and his daughter hostage, then demand a TV crew to make their demands known.

Directed by Jean-Michel Verner, Fool's Game leans on a strong ensemble — Frédéric Diefenthal, Anthony Delon, Jean-Michel Verner — 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 crime titles of 2001.
