The In(famous) Youssef Salem

The In(famous) Youssef Salem (2023) is a French comedy you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Baya Kasmi. At forty-five, Youssef has spent his whole life dodging literary success, until his new novel finally lands.

There's a catch. The book is lifted straight from his own loud Tunisian-French family, and now he's desperate to keep every copy out of their hands. Ramzy Bedia carries the film as Youssef, with Noémie Lvovsky and Melha Bedia around him. Kasmi plays it as warm farce rather than cruel satire, a comedy about the guilty thrill of turning your relatives into fiction. Easygoing, talky, and a good pick if you like French cinema that doesn't take itself too seriously. Stream The In(famous) Youssef Salem online on iFILM.
