How to Make a Killing
AroView: A highly engaging French crime comedy in the deadpan, frost-bitten tradition of the Coen Brothers’ “Fargo”, starring Laure Calamy alongside co-writer/director Franck Dubosc as a hard-up rural mom-and-pop who stumble across a big bag of cash after witnessing a fatal car accident.
What follows is a series of kooky-clumsy cover-ups, with doofus law enforcement and real unfriendly types soon sniffing around the village, while this increasingly desperate couple retain our sympathy in spite of some none-too-sensible decisions. ★★★★
“A very successful and deliciously amoral black comedy is reminiscent of the Coen brothers’ “Fargo”, with its greedy broken arm characters and snowy landscapes.” ~Catherine Balle, The Parisian
“An unexpected and hilarious rural black comedy.” ~Christophe Caron, La Voix du Nord
