Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Ngijol wrote, directed and starred — a rare auteurist approach in French commercial comedy that mirrors Franklin's control-freak tendencies.
The film's 'Fastlife' philosophy predicted Instagram hustle culture by years; Franklin's arc feels more relevant now than in 2014.
