Synopsis
The Big Picture (L'Homme qui voulait vivre sa vie, 2010) is a French thriller you can watch online on iFILM. Director Éric Lartigau adapts Douglas Kennedy's novel around Paul Exben, a Paris lawyer with the full set: corner office, big house, beautiful wife, two sons. Romain Duris plays him.
On paper Paul has everything. Then he learns his wife is sleeping with a local photographer, and a single surge of rage erases the comfortable life in under a minute. Standing over the body, he makes a choice with no way back — an attempt to wipe himself out and start over under another man's name.
What follows is a tense study of a man who bought his freedom at the worst possible price. Niels Arestrup, Marina Foïs and Catherine Deneuve round out the cast. This is a cold psychological thriller, not a chase picture — its real subject is the cost of running from your own life. Stream The Big Picture online on iFILM.
