Based on the novel by celebrated novelist Donald E. Westlake, a Grand Master of the Mystery Writers of America Society, Le Couperet (2005) is a dark social comedy & thriller that tells the topical story of a middle-aged chemist (remarkable deadpan comic José Garcia) who, after having been fired following the merger of his company and having remained unemployed for three years, decides to improve his chances on the job market by literally eliminating his competitors…
Le Couperet, nominated for 2 French César Awards in 2006, was never released in the U.S. Chan-wook Park (Thirst), one of Korea’s best directors, will direct a remake of this amoral tale in 2011.
The screening is made possible by the support of the French Cultural Services in San Francisco, Cultures France, Barefoot Wine & Bubbly, Boudin Bakery, cakegrrl.com, and The Crest Theatre!
