Directed by So Me, a well-known director and graphic artist in the hip-hop and electro worlds, Banger promises to be a rhythmic, offbeat musical with an impressive cast. Vincent Cassel, an icon of French cinema, plays Scorpex, a DJ who has had his hour of glory but is struggling to find his place in the scene. When a DGSI agent, played by Laura Felpin, offers him an unlikely mission - to infiltrate the electro scene and bring down his up-and-coming rival Vestax(played by Mister V) - Scorpex sees an opportunity to return to the limelight.
With an unprecedented combination of comedy, thriller and music, Banger plays on the generation clash in the party and nightlife scene, while offering a rocky plot where bass and adrenalin intertwine.
Banger will be available on Netflix from April 2, 2025.
Synopsis: Scorpex, a once-famous DJ now on the wane, gets his chance to return to the top when a DGSI agent recruits him to take down Vestax, his up-and-coming young rival.
With its mix of absurdist humor, thriller and electro music, Banger seems to appeal to fans of wacky comedies and parodies of the music business. The film is reminiscent of works such as Babylon for its madcap energy, or Popstar: Famous at Any Price for its humorous take on the music star system.
The cast features a fine array of comedy and music talent, including Mister V, Laura Felpin, Paul Mirabel, Panayotis Pascot, Philippe Katerine and Manu Payet. These figures from stand-up comedy and the web bring a touch of modernity and self-mockery to the project. As for Vincent Cassel, he promises a delightful role as a veteran of the electro scene who has been overtaken by the new generation.
Fans of absurdist humor, music and films with lively dialogue and outrageous situations may well find what they're looking for.
Banger promises to be an atypical musical comedy, with an energetic cast and a zany plot combining music and espionage. With its generational rivalry, self-mockery and electrifying soundtrack, this film will appeal to those who love modern comedies and the humorous world of DJing.
