Antoine Lafon
Antoine Lafon isn’t exactly a household name—yet. But the guy’s building up a pretty wild filmography if you ask me. Take “The Kingdom” from 2024: we’re talking about a movie that dives into power struggles, questionable alliances, and a bunch of characters who can’t seem to trust anyone, not even themselves. Lafon’s performance? Kinda electric. He’s got that thing where you’re never really sure if you love him or want to smack him. The whole film feels a bit like a chess game, except if the chessboard was on fire and everyone was lying about the rules.
Then there’s “Smoking Causes Coughing” from 2022. What a trip. This one’s more on the absurd, dark-comedy side. Imagine a group of superhero misfits who spend as much time arguing and making bad decisions as they do fighting evil. Lafon slips right into the madness, never missing a beat. It’s weird, it’s wacky, and his comedic timing is sharp enough to cut glass. If you’re into movies that don’t take themselves too seriously, this is absolutely up your alley.
Oh, and don’t forget “November” (also 2022). Way more intense—think nail-biting thriller with a gritty, almost documentary vibe. It plunges into the chaos of a police investigation after a terror attack. Lafon isn’t just background noise here; he’s right in the thick of it, showing off some serious dramatic chops. Bottom line: whether it’s drama, comedy, or somewhere in between, Lafon’s making his mark. Watch this space.
