D'argent et de sang (2023)
true story
The Carbon Scam has been the biggest one in French history. It took months to the French Administration to admit they had been stolen over a billion in Euros. Schneider shines as the broker fascinated with the lifestyle of crooks, then gangsters, who soon wanted their share. Scandal led to a bloodshed. Lindon plays his usual "decent man" but is not surprising. Olga Kurylenko adds dephts to a character who could have a caricature. The main surprise comes from comedian Ramzy Bedia as the eccentric, analpabetic but survivor crook, stealing the first half of the series. Director Giannoli cuts short any accusation of antisemitism (events took place within the Parisian Jewih community) by adding Israeli cops and a rabbi advising Lindon's character about his own repressed Jewsih origins.
