Synopsis
Racer and the Jailbird (Le Fidèle, 2017) is a Belgian crime drama you can watch online on iFILM. Directed by Michaël R. Roskam, the film stars Matthias Schoenaerts and Adèle Exarchopoulos in a story that sits somewhere between a love affair and a slow-burn tragedy.
Gino is a career criminal who keeps his two worlds sealed off from each other. Then he meets Bénédicte — a professional racing driver from an aristocratic family — and sealing things off stops being an option. They fall hard and fast, but Gino's past is the kind that doesn't stay buried, and it will eventually catch up with everything he's built.
Roskam is less interested in heist mechanics than in the cost of a double life. Schoenaerts brings the same coiled intensity he showed in Bullhead, and Exarchopoulos more than holds her own against him. Stream Racer and the Jailbird (2017) online on iFILM.
