Money Money Money

Money Money Money (L'Aventure c'est l'aventure, 1972) is a French crime comedy directed by Claude Lelouch — watch it online on iFILM. Five veteran criminals get out of prison and quickly discover the traditional rackets have dried up: banks are empty, citizens are alert, and the sex workers have unionized. The old business model is dead.

Their solution is to pivot to political crime — celebrity kidnappings, ransom demands, international media attention. The cast alone makes this worth watching: Lino Ventura as the gang's sardonic anchor, singer Jacques Brel, and rock star Johnny Hallyday, each bringing something no professional actor would. Lelouch keeps the tone sharp and absurdist; the gang's mimicry of real political extremists is so precise it slides from funny to genuinely unsettling and back again.
