99 Francs
I'm the most influential bastard in 2000 years.
Directed by Jan Kounen
Produced by Légende Films, Film 99 Francs
A darkly comic, cynical portrait of a morally adrift advertising executive in Paris whose shallow existence and drug-fueled lifestyle collide with questions of meaning and responsibility.
Paris, France, 2001. Octave Parango, a young advertiser working at the Ross & Witchcraft advertising agency, lives a suicidal existence, ruled by cynicism, irresponsibility and debauchery. The obstacles he will encounter in developing a campaign for a new yogurt brand will force him to face the meaning of his work and the way he manages his relationship with those who orbit around his egotistic lifestyle.
