About Fake News
After stealing a gaming console from migrants, Sébastien tries to sell it to Patrick, a good guy. So far, nothing too serious. But when a rapper straight out of jail, a TV host willing to do anything to go viral and click traffickers get involved... Sébastien and Patrick become France’s most wanted bad guys.
Directed by Mouloud Achour, Dominique Baumard, Fake News leans on a strong ensemble — Roman Frayssinet, Djimo Salim, Ludivine Sagnier — 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 2021.
