The Fall of the American Empire

Denys Arcand / CA, 2018 / 127 min.

A witty and sardonic satire about Pierre-Paul Daoust, an intellectual with a degree in philosophy who witnesses an armed robbery. In the end there are two casualties and two bags filled with millions of dollars. Pierre-Paul now faces a dilemma: sneak out with clean and empty hands or take the money and run?
