Gaston Lagaffe

Gaston Lagaffe (2018) is a French-Belgian comedy you can watch online on iFILM. Director Pierre-François Martin-Laval adapts André Franquin's beloved comic strip character — the irredeemably lazy office clerk who has been causing workplace disasters since 1957. Théo Fernandez plays Gaston, with Arnaud Ducret and Isabelle Nanty rounding out the cast.

Gaston lands a job at a small start-up and wastes no time turning it upside down. His gadgets — each designed with the purest intention of cutting his own workload — blow up, malfunction, and push his boss Prunelle to the brink. A cat, a seagull, a cow, and the homemade "gaffophone" turn ordinary office hours into low-grade calamity. It is cheerful, absurdist Belgian humour with no edge to it, which is exactly what the source material promises. Stream Gaston Lagaffe (2018) online on iFILM.
