About the Movie

Get ready to laugh out loud with the shameless, punchy, and downright hilarious comedy, Medellin. This film is the complete opposite of elegance and is one of those punk comedies where you finally get to laugh. Yes, it may seem strange, but that’s the beauty of it. The mastermind behind this comedic masterpiece is none other than Franck Gastambide, who directs and stars in the film, based on a screenplay by Charles Van Tieghem.

However, the real star of the show and the one who will have you in stitches is Ramzy Bedia, the boxer who’s lost all sense of political correctness. Along with his “buddy” Chafik, who plays the “short guy” the trio embarks on a journey to a country where cocaine is only 2 euros a gram and of good quality.

You won’t find many comedies as funny and irreverent as Medellin. It’s a crazy, crazy comedy, but it’s also well-made, with a great sense of rhythm, and comedic timing, often times slapstick. And let’s not forget the script, which is a piece of art in itself.

Remember the Taxi saga? They may not be the best movies in the history of cinema, but they’re a blast to watch. Medellin is no different. It’s a movie that distances itself from the norm and with its sense of aesthetics, hooligan, it becomes all the more entertaining.

In short, we loved it! So, grab some popcorn, sit back, and get ready to laugh until your stomach hurts.
