From co-writer/producer Luc Besson ('La Femme Nikita', 'Léon: The Professional', 'The Fifth Element') comes the sharp and sumptuous sci-fi/comedy/thriller 'Kamikaze'. Michel Galabru ('Subway') is Albert. He’s old, bored, batty and unemployed…but brilliant with computers. Albert embarks on a mission to get rid of the people he hates most—the televised kind—and invents a way to kill TV announcers, on air, from the comfort of his own home. Police are baffled, but Richard Bohringer as Inspector Romain Pascot dedicates himself to the chase. Also starring Dominique Lavanant, the cult ’80s classic 'Kamikaze' bursts with slick widescreen visuals by cinematographer Jean-François Robin ('L’Amour Braque') and pulsing musical soundscapes by composer Éric Serra ('GoldenEye'), complementing the explosive satire on couch-potato culture.

The ultimate nightmare for a racist? Becoming as black as the people she abhors. This is exactly what happens to Agathe Cléry: she’s struck down with a rare disorder of the adrenal cortex glands that cause the skin to darken inexorably. One morning Agathe wakes up to find herself pitch black… There’s no way out. Paradoxically, these cruel blows start to make Agathe more of a human being. When she’s taken on by a company that employs anyone who isn’t white, it becomes imperative that her true identity remains a secret. Especially since she’s fallen madly in love with her boss, Quentin. The girl is in a fine mess!
