The story of Christophe Rocancourt is one of extraordinary destiny—an exceptional life that’s nearly impossible to recreate today. Christophe’s journey resembles the most excellent film ever made. I belong to the generation that grew up with his book, now a cult classic. It’s a French tale with an American rhythm, resonating with everyone as we can all find a piece of ourselves in it. It’s become an urban legend that is part of our heritage. I wanted the film to explore the psychology of the character Rocancourt, allowing him to express himself fully. The film opens with a quote from Christophe: “Don’t judge me; the courts have already taken care of that.” It was crucial to uncover his story through his perspective, enriched by the insights that maturity has given him. I learned a lot while making this film; it feels more relevant than ever,” said David Serero.

Through exclusive interviews, archival footage, and dramatic reenactments, the film illuminates Rocancourt’s rise and fall, providing audiences with a thought-provoking cinematic experience. The film premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in 2024.
