About the film:
Highly covered by the French media at the time, Edouard-Jean Empain’s nine-week sequestration started out as a criminal affair. But it soon became a moral scandal when proof of his lavish gambling and philandering was discovered by police and leaked to the press. Though his abduction was initially perceived as a harmless ploy for ransom, Empain was eventually seen by family, friends, co-workers and the public as having received the comeuppance he deserved. Belvaux adapts the tale to present-day Paris, upping the bounty by many millions of Euros and fictionalizing the characters, but he otherwise remains quite faithful to the original events.
