The Little Things: A neo-noir crime thriller set in early 1990s Los Angeles, the film follows detectives (Denzel Washington and Rami Malek) who investigate a string of murders, which lead them to a strange loner who may be the culprit (Jared Leto). The film also stars Chris Bauer, Michael Hyatt, Terry Kinney, and Natalie Morales.
Lupin: A french mystery thriller series follows professional thief Assane Diop (Omar Sy), the only son of an immigrant from Senegal who had come to France to seek a better life for his child. Assane’s father is framed for the theft of an expensive diamond necklace by his employer, the wealthy and powerful Hubert Pellegrini, and hangs himself in his prison cell out of shame, leaving the teenage Assane an orphan. Twenty-five years later, inspired by a book about gentleman thief Arsène Lupin his father had given him on his birthday, Assane sets out to get revenge on the Pellegrini family, using his charisma and mastery of thievery, subterfuge, and disguise to expose Hubert’s crimes.
The Intouchables: A french buddy comedy-drama about the story of the friendship between the two men told as a flashback: Philippe (François Cluzet), a wealthy quadriplegic who owns a luxurious hôtel particulier, and his assistant Magalie are interviewing candidates to be his live-in caregiver. Driss (Omar Sy), a candidate, has no ambitions to get hired. He is just there to get a signature on a document showing he was interviewed and rejected so that he can continue receiving his welfare benefits.
