Guy

Guy (2018) is a French music comedy-drama you can watch online on iFILM. Alex Lutz directs and plays Guy Jamet — a once-popular chanson singer whose career peaked somewhere in the 1970s and 1980s.

Young journalist Gauthier (Tom Dingler) learns from his mother that Guy is his biological father. He joins the singer on a provincial tour with a camera, ostensibly to make a documentary, really to figure out who this person is. Real-life French entertainers Julien Clerc and Michel Drucker appear in the film, giving it an odd texture that sits somewhere between fiction and documentary.

A quiet, bittersweet portrait of faded fame and the strange gap between a father and a son who never knew each other existed. Stream Guy (2018) online on iFILM.
