Little Indian, Big City

Little Indian, Big City (Un Indien dans la ville, 1994) is a French family comedy directed by Hervé Palud that you can watch online on iFILM. Thierry Lhermitte plays a Paris stockbroker who flies to the Amazon delta to finalise a long-overdue divorce — and comes back with a son he never knew he had, a boy raised entirely by a jungle tribe.

Mimi-Siku hits the French capital like a force of nature: he scales office towers, befriends every street vendor in the arrondissement, and somehow ends up tangled with the Russian mob. What makes the film work is that the city genuinely looks more absurd than the jungle once you see it through a child who has never heard of traffic or small talk.
