In 2222, a man kept in hibernation for a very long time is finally awakened. He recalls his past as a drug dealer, shattered by the legalization of drugs in 1970. Having lost his status, he joined a group opposed to the multinationals that manage drug sales.
Alain Corneau
Alain Corneau is a French director. Fascinated by American cinema, he nevertheless explored a wide range of genres throughout his career, from epic sagas like Fort Saganne (1984) to intimate psychological dramas like Les mots bleus (2005). The theme of confrontation and departure to a foreign country, leading to a painful quest for identity, frequently appears in his work. His directorial debut was marked by the crime genre, combining a well-crafted narrative with a certain darkness. These films are often considered homages to American noir novels and films, from which he borrowed archetypes. After three notable commercial successes, he directed Série noire (1979), a sharp psychological drama with deep pessimism that left its mark on French cinema. He then continued with period films and several ventures abroad, notably in India and Japan. In 2004, his entire body of work was honored with the René Clair Award by the French Academy.
