| Arsène Lupin |
Arsène Lupin is the name of a fictional gentleman thief who appears
in a book series of detective fiction / crime fiction novels written by
French writer Maurice Leblanc.
A retelling of the glamorous life of Arsène Lupin, the celebrated jewel
thief of belle époque Europe. Tired of boring rural life at the family’s
luxurious castle in Normandy, Arsène's father instructs him to steal a
particularly necklace once worn by Marie Antoinette. Once the
necklace is passed off to his father, Arsène goes to sleep, only to
wake the next morning to discover his father dead and the family cast
out. Still on the run from the law as an adult, Arsène returns to his
childhood home and, with a false name, takes a job as the Duke’s
martial arts teacher. One night, though, he spies on a gathering of
Royalist plotters as they condemn to death the Countess of
Cagliostro. Lupin saves her and thus begins their intertwining fates.
Decades fly by and historical events whirl around them as their
mutual dependency--sometimes as lovers, sometimes as enemies--
deepens.

Papy fait de la Résistance
In this uneven take-off on some reluctant resistance fighters
in World War II, a family of musicians find themselves the
unwilling hosts of a segment of the German High Command
when their Paris mansion is taken over by the occupying
forces. What happens next is a series of individual skits,
cameo appearances, and zany interludes that are not
necessarily as strung together as they are strung out.
