99 Francs
A disillusioned ad executive races to launch a new yogurt campaign while confronting his own cynicism and the ruthless world of consumer manipulation that threatens to consume him.
“I'm the most influential bastard in 2000 years.”
Synopsis
In 2001, in Paris, France, Octave Parango is a young advertiser employed at the Ross & Witchcraft advertising agency. Living a life marked by cynicism, irresponsibility, and excess, he exists in a state of near-suicidal despair. As he works on developing a campaign for a new yogurt brand, the challenges he faces compel him to confront the significance of his work and reevaluate how he handles his relationships with the people affected by his self-centered lifestyle.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 25
These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.
Why a floor?
This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.

📉 Underperformed — grossed 0.9× its budget
Why 2.5×?
Cinemas keep roughly half of every ticket sold, and a wide release’s marketing often costs about as much again as the film — so a movie needs to gross around 2.5× its production budget just to break even theatrically. It’s a rule of thumb, not the studio’s ledger (home video and streaming come later).
