Louise-Michel review

A spurned ex-con embarks on a vengeful roadtrip in this dark Belgian comedy

Reviews

Why you can trust GamesRadar+ Our experts review games, movies and tech over countless hours, so you can choose the best for you. Find out more about our reviews policy.

Named after a 19th century French anarchist, Louise-Michel is another outrageous black comedy-cum- road movie from Belgian duo Benoît Delépine and Gustave de Kervern (Aaltra).

Louise (Yolande Moreau) is an ex-con who hooks up with hapless assassin Michel (Bouli Lanners) to kill the boss who closed down a clothing factory, leaving Louise and her co-workers redundant.

The laughs are defiantly non-PC, but there’s no doubting the sympathetic handling of the working-class heroes, nor the righteous rage at the injustices of contemporary capitalism.
