Les Mythos
Directed by Denis Thybaud1h 27m2011
In spite of their total inexperience, three suburban lascars launch themselves into close protection. Thanks to a "mythical plan", they are assigned to protect Marie Van Verten: a capricious and whimsical young woman, heiress of the biggest fortune in Belgium... And incidentally, a target for over-trained killers! Will our heroes' sense of improvisation be enough to get them out of trouble?
Our read: Les Mythos (2011) reads as a cosy, breathless, grounded comedy entry — gentle in intensity, intimate in scope, measured in temperature, redemptive in outlook.
Cosy, breathless, gentle comedy, grounded in texture. Redemptive, intimate, measured.
