Knock

Doctor Knock is a former thug who has become a doctor and arrives in the small village of Saint-Maurice to make his fortune according to a particular method. It will make the villagers believe that they are not as healthy as they might think. It is thus that he will find in each one an imaginary symptom, or not, and thus will be able to exercise his profession lucratively. Under his seductive looks and after gaining the confidence of the village, Knock is on the verge of achieving his ends. But his past catches up with him and an old acquaintance disrupts the doctor's plans.
Top notch French comedy drama. A little bit of character development early on, then into a French village and onto the real story, which is excellent and engaging. Omar Sy is of course brilliant, but everyone else does a marvellous job of their characters too. Christian Hecq's postman puts me in mind of Jacques Tati's postman. Alex Lutz is fabulously villainous. You'll laugh; you'll cry; you'll be happy you saw this.
