Héros (2007)
Directed by Bruno Merle

Thriller

Film Synopsis

Pierre Forêt is funny, but not funny enough, and that's his problem. He once had dreams of becoming a great comedian, instead of which he works as a warm-up act for TV shows. Now the joke has worn very thin. Pierre cannot sleep. He is at the end of his tether. He has had enough. So, he does what any self-respecting failed comedian would do in his position. He goes out, kidnaps pop idol Clovis Costa and locks him up in his bedroom. But what's the punch line?
