Or his alias, Arthur Rambo, the author of hate-fuelled messages which were written some time ago, and which are dredged up, one day, from social media websites?

Produced by Marie-Ange Luciani on behalf of Les Films de Pierre, Arthur Rambo is co-produced by Memento Films Production and France 2 Cinéma. Pre-purchased by Canal+ and Ciné+, the feature film has also been accorded an advance on earnings by the CNC, as well as support from the Ile-de-France region, the Indéfilms, Cinémage and Cofinova Soficas, and ANGOA (the French National Agency for the Management of Audiovisual Works). The 34-day film-shoot will take place in Paris and is set to wrap at the end of October. Memento will head up French distribution, while international sales are in the hands of Playtime.
