Story
Georges Nail lives an idyllic life in a new suburb with his loving wife and son, while Paul Hammer, despite his good looks, wealth, and intelligence, feels disillusioned with the world. When their paths cross, Georges sees it as an opportunity for friendship, but Paul views Georges' perfect life as a reason to live, aiming to expose and destroy it. The story explores their complex relationship as Paul's actions threaten Georges' seemingly perfect existence.
Summary
Set in the French Riviera, 'Parc' is a dramatic exploration of social unrest within an upper-middle-class community. Directed by Arnaud des Pallières in 2007, the film follows Georges Nail, a successful salesman living with his family in an exclusive gated community, and Paul Hammer, a newcomer with a troubled past. The movie delves into themes of neurosis, social critique, and the destructive nature of obsession, as Paul's actions challenge Georges' perfect facade.
