*** This comment may contain spoilers ***
This very surprising story is inspired from actual facts. I couldn't believe it. That's enormous. A simple guy, in fact a crook, has succeeded in impersonating a big construction manager; and all this with the help of a little town, a community struck by unemployment and shutting down of works all over the country side; it takes place in the north of France...
I can't believe that so many people could have been fooled by such a guy. Myself I would have never given him a cigarette. Cluzet is efficient in the leading character, the crook. But if he is faithful to the genuine fellow, the crook, that makes the story more unbelievable. How can so many poor people without work, searching money to feed their families, could trust such a man? Hope, of course, and that makes me puke. A nasty character, I assure you. But there is some ethics in this tale. There is a love story too. But I guess that these two ingredients were put into the screenplay in order to satisfy the audiences.
A pretty good film. A social movie which emphasizes on unemployment crisis in the North of France.
