A criminal lawyer must mount his own defense in Un bon avocat, Tristan Séguéla's film featuring Laurent Lafitte. Netflix announces its arrival in France on November 9, 2026. The story drops the attorney into a predicament where both his professional reputation and his personal future are at stake at once.
After an on-camera overdose in court and a stint in rehab, Léonard Landry has just one week to salvage his career and prep his trial. He teams up with Noé, a stubborn intern. That tight deadline kicks off the film: a lawyer accustomed to defending others must now fight for his own case.
The project was previously titled Clean. Producer Scope Pictures has announced its out-of-competition selection at the Venice Film Festival 2026, ahead of its Netflix premiere. This festival showcase marks a distinct step from its arrival in the French catalog, with no announcement here of a nationwide theatrical release.
Tristan Séguéla co-wrote the screenplay with Marcia Romano and Simon Jacquet. Anthony Bajon, Mélanie Laurent and Carole Bouquet also appear in the cast of this Iconoclast-produced film.
