The Mystery of Henri Pick
DramaComedy
In a bizarre Breton library that collects rejected, never published manuscripts, a young editor discovers a novel that she considers a masterpiece. It was written by a certain Henri Pick, a cook who died two years earlier and who, according to his widow, had never read a book in his life or written anything but a shopping list... Did he have a secret life? When the book becomes a huge best-seller, Jean- Michel Rouche, a skeptical and stubborn literary critic, teams up with Joséphine, Pick’s daughter, to unravel the mystery.
VIBE
A charmingly meta-fictional caper. It's a cozy, witty dive into the eccentricities of the literary world, where secrets simmer beneath the surface of a runaway bestseller. A delightful puzzle box of a film.
