The Fast and the Furious
Rob Cohen
Dominic Toretto is a Los Angeles street racer suspected of masterminding a series of big-rig hijackings. When undercover cop Brian O’Conner infiltrates Toretto’s iconoclastic crew, he falls for Toretto’s sister and must choose a side: the gang or the LAPD.
In 2001, who could have predicted that an unpretentious B-movie with a cast of unknowns, modeled after Kathryn Bigelow's Point Break, would take the American box office by storm? (Re)discover the origins of a legendary popular saga, often wrongly scorned, whose sincerity and candor stand out in the dreary landscape of Hollywood blockbusters!
To mark the release of his book Machine qui rêve: Fast and Furious, une utopie américaine, Arthur Bouet (film critic and editor-in-chief of the magazine Amateur·e) will introduce this unique screening (in French).
