☞THE MOVIE: 

“After ten days of competition, the Games were a fiasco for the French delegation which failed to win any gold medals. All hopes of the title now rest on Paul, an exceptional sports shooter but an immature and not very smart athlete. As the competition approaches, he is forced to share his room with Jacob, a swimmer from Vanuatu, who seems more preoccupied by the extra-sporting temptations of the village than by his race.” – Synopsis

“Less a sports comedy than a hilarious questioning of the contemporary values ​​of sport, L’Esprit Coubertin seduces with its desire not to stick to any framework of the genre, exploring both the question, often evaded, of the desire of athletes as well as the political resonance of their exploits.” – CQ Magazine
