The film Le Larbin, directed by Alexandre Charlot and Franck Magnier, features a cast including Kad Merad, Clovis Cornillac and young actor Audran Cattin. This comedy takes us on a temporal adventure where modern-day antics meet the rigors of the court of Louis XIV. The directors, known for their previous successes such as Les Profs, return with an original idea, combining humor and history.
Le Larbin is available on VOD from November 14, 2024.
Synopsis: Louis, a young, lazy party boy, has been spending the fortune of his father, the president of a luxury hotel group, indiscriminately. Exasperated, the latter decides to teach his son a lesson with a revolutionary idea: make him believe he has mysteriously landed three and a half centuries earlier, in the time of Louis XIV! Caught up in this carefully crafted masquerade, the young man soon discovers that back then, life at the chateau wasn't for everyone! Farewell to sequins and smartphones, Louis will have to trade them in against his will for ballets, buckets and rags. Mistreated by a tyrannical viscount, the young stooge is in for a rough ride!
In Le Larbin, Louis, a carefree, spendthrift young man, shamelessly takes advantage of the fortune of his father, a powerful luxury hotel magnate. Annoyed by his son's extravagance, the latter devises a daring plan to teach him a lesson: make Louis believe he has traveled back in time to the 17th century, during the reign of Louis XIV. Plunged into this carefully orchestrated illusion, Louis must adapt to a life far removed from modern comforts, trading his habits of partying and technology for the servile tasks and whims of a tyrannical viscount. This forced immersion holds many surprises and hilarious trials.
Le Larbin is aimed at an audience drawn to family comedies and offbeat stories. Fans of films such as Les Visiteurs and La Folle Histoire de Max et Léon will probably appreciate this blend of humor and anachronisms. The film's originality lies in its ability to combine historical elements with modern comic situations, offering an amusing reflection on the clash of cultures and eras. The expected performances by Kad Merad and Clovis Cornillac also promise great moments of laughter and on-screen complicity.
With Le Larbin, Alexandre Charlot and Franck Magnier bring us an original and entertaining comedy, in which Louis ' misadventures in the past promise to make us laugh out loud. The film can be (re)discovered on VOD from November 14, 2024. Don't miss this hilarious immersion in the era of Louis XIV, supported by a first-rate cast and ingenious direction.
