Delete History

Delete History (Effacer l'historique, 2020) is a French-Belgian satire you can watch online on iFILM. In a sleepy suburb, three neighbours decide they've had enough of the tech giants running their lives.

Marie is terrified a private tape will leak and cost her her son's respect. Bertrand can't hang up on a single cold caller, all while his daughter gets bullied online. Christine drives for a ride-hailing app and watches her rating refuse to climb. Alone, each one is stuck. Together, they go to war.

Directors Gustave Kervern and Benoît Delépine fill the cast with Blanche Gardin, Denis Podalydès and Corinne Masiero, with novelist Michel Houellebecq turning up too. The jokes land because the helplessness is real — you've made these same pointless calls. Stream Delete History (2020) online on iFILM.
