Mammuth

Synopsis

Featuring an extraordinary leading performance from legendary actor Gérard Depardieu in one of France's biggest box office successes of 2010, MAMMUTH from emerging young French directors Gustave Kervern and Benoît Delépine (Louise-Michel, Aaltra), is an outrageously funny and subversive tale of one man's attempt to secure his state pension, whilst facing the prospect of retirement and the inevitability of growing old in the modern world.

MAMMUTH was nominated for the Golden Bear at the Berlin Film Festival and also received three nominations at the 2011 César Awards (France's equivalent to the Oscar), including Best Actor for Gérard Depardieu.
