Netflix 2021 recommandation Lupin review

Movies and series about 'one shot' usually deal with big criminal events that make everyone rich. But what if the crime had a bigger story about someone who wanted to reveal the truth about his father's death? This is the idea of the new French drama Lupin.

the Louvre night Cleaners enter through the underground entrance and pick up their supplies. Ashan Diop (Omar City) is one of them. He movers and dusts, admiring the works in front of him. Particularly noticeable was the necklace Louis XVI gave to Marie Antoinette.

After cleaning up, Asan says she met her everything, Claire (Luddivine Sanieri), and found a new job. He gives child support to his teenage son Raul. Afterwards, Asan will visit the gangsters Vincent, Kevin, and Rudy, who had borrowed money before. Although they don't have the money to pay back now, they get through them, saying there is a way to touch more money, and then plan to steal Marie Antoinette's necklace when it is auctioned at the Louvre Museum auction. But for Asan, the necklace is not just a piece of precious metal.
​

In 1995, while Asan was a teenager, his father, Babacar, began working as a driver for the Pellegrini family. Mrs. Pellegrini liked Babacar and Asan, and when Babacar admired the books in her study, she was told to pick out a book and bring it to Asan. Then Babakar chooses the Arsene Lupin book. One day, when the Mari Antoinette necklace, which belonged to the Pellegrini family, was stolen, Mr. Pellegrini suspects the driver, Babacar, who was hanging around the library. Babaakar, who was unjustly imprisoned, ended up killing himself, and Asan became alone.


On the day of the Louvre auction again. As the three gangs carry out their plan to pretend to be cleaners and bodyguards, Asan sits among the bidders in a high-end suit. As part of the plan, Asan will bid for the necklace for 60 million euros. However, the gang betrayed Asan and ran away with the necklace, but they ended up being caught by the police. Arsen, on the other hand, walked proudly out of the Louvre Museum.
​

It is reminiscent of Netflix's two series about thieves. It is 'The House of Paper' and 'The Thieves of the Century'. But it seems to have more personal feelings than the shows.​

Lupin is not just about professional theft. It is not the purpose of retiring through one stroke. Asan wants to stop stealing but tries to steal Marie Antoinette's necklace. It's not just about material wealth, it's personal. He knows well that there is no evidence that his father stole the necklace 25 years ago. And I know that my father committed suicide unjustly. That's why Asan wants to continue the unfinished business with the Pellegrini family.

​
Furthermore, at the end of the first episode, when we find out that Asan is not a person struggling to make ends meet, our view of the drama changes. It is not a six-sense twist and shock, but it is surprising enough to see the scene from a different perspective.


We know this story follows the story of a mysterious Arsene Lupang. I know how the thief has been hiding while his plans were broken, getting others to follow his orders, and not to be questioned himself. Now we will find out through Asan's eyes how it affected his father's death.


In addition, Omar's acting is as good as Asan. It simultaneously digests humble cleaners and bold industry moguls. You must watch this drama to see his great acting.
