The Visitor from the Future

The Visitor from the Future (Le Visiteur du futur, 2022) is a French sci-fi comedy-adventure you can watch online on iFILM, directed by François Descraques and starring Florent Dorin. The film expands a web series Descraques ran from 2009 to 2013 — the original racked up tens of millions of views, and the feature brings back much of the same cast.

The year is 2555. Ecological collapse has reduced civilization to scattered survivors dodging zombies and acid rain. One of the last men standing — the Visitor — jumps back to the 21st century with a malfunctioning robot in tow. His mission is to interrupt the chain of events that leads to the apocalypse. The time police disagree with his methods and follow him across every era he lands in.

The film plays the absurd premise straight enough to generate real comic pressure. It's the kind of project that could only come from a creator who spent years earning his audience's trust one episode at a time — the energy is loose, the jokes land, and 105 minutes go by fast.
