Synopsis
King of My Castle (Le Larbin, 2024) is a French comedy you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Alexandre Charlot and Franck Magnier and starring Kad Merad, Clovis Cornillac and Isabelle Carré.
Louis has never held a job. His father owns a luxury hotel group; Louis owns a nightclub tab and a talent for burning through money without a second thought. Fed up, the father puts a plan in motion: hire a film director, build a full-scale 18th-century village outside Paris, drug his son, and leave him there. Louis wakes up in what he believes is the era of Louis XIV — no phone, no money, surrounded by period-dressed actors who keep completely straight faces.
Charlot and Magnier are the duo behind Alibi.com (2017), one of the bigger French comedy hits of recent years. They work the same vein here — high-concept, fast-moving farce with a satirical bite just under the surface. Merad plays the scheming father with weary precision; Cornillac and Carré round out a cast that knows exactly what kind of film it's in. Stream King of My Castle online on iFILM.
