The Good and the Bad
A darkly comedic crime caper set in occupied Paris that transforms petty theft into political resistance, balancing camaraderie and moral complexity.
The film follows the exploits of Jacques, a car-mechanic turned pro-thief, and his Jewish co-conspirator Simon as their robberies, beginning well before the Second World War, take on a political coloration under the occupation.
