Pétrole ! Pétrole !

1981 · 85 min

A breezy, talky French farce that coasts on charm and bickering schemers rather than big laughs.

Overview: Le PDG d'une importante société pétrolière voit ses manoeuvres illicites déjouées par un jeune concurrent dont la femme n'est autre que la fille de son fournisseur arabe.
How it feels: Satirical, light, cynical and absurd. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Corruption, greed, power, deception
Content: Mild sexual content and language. No violence or gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
