The World Petanque Tour

The World Petanque Tour (Les invincibles, 2013) is a French comedy you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Frédéric Berthe. Atmen Kelif plays Momo, a man who has kept one buried dream for years: becoming a pétanque champion.

When the famous Darcy announces an international tournament, Momo drops his ordinary routine and assembles a team of rejects and late dreamers. Gérard Depardieu, Virginie Efira, and Michel Galabru round out a cast of people nobody expected to see on the court. The comedy works because the film takes the game seriously and its characters even more so — the petanque is almost beside the point. Stream The World Petanque Tour online on iFILM.
