Synopsis
Brutus vs Cesar (2020) is a French historical comedy you can watch online on iFILM. Kheiron — who wrote, directed and starred in the warmly received Nous trois ou rien — returns here with a Roman farce built around the oldest political story in the book: a conspiracy to take down the man at the top.
After Caesar crushes Vercingetorix and tightens his grip on Rome, senators Rufus and Cassius decide something has to be done. Their plan needs a figurehead — specifically Brutus, Caesar's illegitimate son — and getting him on board proves harder than toppling a republic. Thierry Lhermitte and Gérard Darmon handle the scheming duo, and Pierre Richard turns up in a supporting role that is, on its own, reason enough to stay curious. The comedy runs on verbal sparring, political absurdity and the French tradition of making authority look ridiculous.
If you have any fondness for the Asterix films or for French ensemble comedy with a sharp edge, this sits comfortably in that tradition. Stream Brutus vs Cesar (2020) on iFILM.
