Chinese In Paris

1974115 min6.2 / 10

A satirical comedy that uses a fantastical Chinese invasion of Paris as a mirror to examine occupation, collaboration, and national identity through absurdist humor.

Overnight, Paris is invaded - although peacefully - but the Chinese Army, and millions of Chinese people... It's the Nazi occupation all over again, with modern - funny - twists.
