The Lion

The Lion (Le Lion, 2020) is a French comedy directed by Ludovic Colbeau-Justin — watch online on iFILM. Dany Boon plays psychiatrist Pierre, who is thoroughly convinced his newest patient is simply delusional: the man insists he's an elite international spy known as Agent Lion. Then Pierre's fiancée gets kidnapped right in front of him. Suddenly the only person offering to help is that same patient.

Philippe Katerine plays the "spy" with a cheerful, unshakeable calm that makes Boon's escalating panic even funnier. As the two stumble through an accidental spy mission, the film quietly flips the question of who's actually the more unstable one. It's the kind of French farce built on comic timing and embarrassment rather than gags — fast, light, and easy to watch. Stream The Lion (2020) online on iFILM.
