Public Enemy Number 1: Part 2
Mesrine: L'ennemi public N°1
Director: Jean-Francois Richet
Actors: Vincent Cassel, Ludivine Sagnier, Mathieu Amalric, Samuel Le Bihan, Gérard Lanvin, Olivier Gourmet
The man of a thousand faces continues his incredible life of crime while manipulating the media, the government and
the police.
The film, set in Canada, the United States and Spain, as well as France and Algeria, traces the incredible rise of one of
history’s most infamous gangsters. His spectacular death in 1979, riddled with police bullets fired at close range in
the middle of Paris, put the final touch on his legend. But far from presenting him as a model or a superhero, the film
portrays him in all his complexity. What emerges is the story of the man behind the icon.
Highly-charged, daring, shocking and tender in equal parts, and directed with a flair reminiscent of Scorsese,
Public Enemy Number One is grand entertainment, with a breathtaking cast of some of France’s most famous
actors, headed by an unforgettable performance by Vincent Cassel.
