The verdict
There are not yet enough audience votes to give this a reliable score. It is not currently playing in Hong Kong cinemas. 134 minutes.
What it is about
November 1943, German-occupied Belgium. In the face of grave danger if caught, the Independent Front, a Belgian resistance organization, publishes a spoof edition of Le Soir to satirize the German occupiers and the nation’s main propaganda-controlled newspaper. Le Faux Soir is considered the first act of media hacking in history.
What to expect
Michael R. Roskam directs this French-language drama about the November 1943 stunt in which the Belgian Independent Front printed a spoof edition of Le Soir — the occupation’s mouthpiece — and distributed it under the noses of the Gestapo. The movie runs 134 minutes and leans into the procedural tension of the operation rather than battlefield spectacle; the weight comes from watching ordinary people weigh a joke against a death sentence. Arieh Worthalter, Mélanie Thierry, and Karim Leklou lead the cast. It opens in Hong Kong on 10 October 2026, in French with English subtitles. Certificate and format details have not been released.
