Le Beauf

About This Movie

Le Beauf is quite the quirky blend of comedy and drama, with a dash of crime that keeps the viewer guessing. You’ve got Gilbert, who’s tasked with incinerating old banknotes at the Bank of France—definitely an unusual job, right? The film dives into his mundane life with Gisèle and their son Thomas, while flashbacks reveal his past rock band escapades. What’s interesting is how Marc, Gisèle’s brother, sort of takes advantage of Gilbert’s innocence, leading to a series of comical yet tense moments. The pacing feels a bit uneven at times, but that only adds to its charm, making it a unique piece of late '80s cinema. The performances, especially from the lead, are quite engaging and really ground the absurdity of the plot.

Consider the film's exploration of naivety and trust.Notable for its offbeat humor and unconventional storyline.Watch for the dynamics between Gilbert and Marc.
