[Editor's note: We've been sitting on this for a couple of months but were asked to hold off on posting it, but now, without further ado, here it is.]
After a long, brutal and successful career as a mafia tycoon in Marseilles, Charly Matteï has finally gone into retirement. For some years, he has lived a quiet life devoted to his mother, wife and two young children. Then, one morning, he is left for dead in a subterranean parking near the old port with 22 bullets in his body. Somehow he survives, gets his nickname of “l’Immortel” out of it, and goes looking for revenge.
*Dramatic chords*
There. That’s the pitch. This is Richard Berry latest movie, starring Jean Reno, Kad Merad, Jean Pierre Daroussin and Marina Foïs. It’s adapted from the eponym Franz-Olivier Giesbert's novel, narrating and improving the “thrilling” life of a real French mafia tycoon: Jacky Imbert.
