Netflix continues to produce series on French soil. The American giant has just launched a first teaser of Arsène Lupin on social networks. Short images that put Omar Sy in this new role in full light. In the first place, we can say that it is not easy to tackle a classic that has been adapted several times. Manga and anime lovers will remember the excellent version created by Monkey Punch. An iteration that gave pride of place to atypical characters. Constant humour and high-flying action were the ingredients of the success of this work. Secondly, Netflix has opted for a modern transposition. We are curious to see Maurice Leblanc's creation in today's world. How to steal works of art in a society under constant surveillance? In addition to cameras, each person has a smartphone and constantly relays facts of all kinds on the networks. However, even if the challenge is sizeable, we want to believe in this series that plays the diversity card with Omar Sy in the lead role. A great initiative for an actor always appreciated by the French. The rest of the cast is of quality. He mixes sure values like Ludivine Sagnier and Clotilde Hesmes and beautiful revelations like Soufiane Guerrab (La vie Scolaire) and Shirine Boutella (a nice surprise Papicha).
A teaser that reveals some information
A more specific aspect of this teaser is that the action will likely be concentrated at the Louvre. An interesting choice that will place history in a high place of art and culture. After some productions with disappointing results (Marseille, Osmosis), we wish Arsène Lupin a success. To conclude, the great French expectations on Netflix concern this new version of the most elegant thief in literature and the series of Damien Chazelle which will focus on the world of jazz.
