Malabar

At night as they return home to the suburbs, Mourad and Harrison accidentally bump into Marcel, an old man of Vietnamese origin.

Directed by Maximilian Badier-Rosenthal, Malabar leans on a strong ensemble — Harrison Mpaya, Mourad Boudaoud, Hiep Tran-Nghia — 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 drama titles of 2021.
