Passing throughJulien Royal’s first film
Will one success create another? This is the trend for Passing throughthe previous feature film by Julien Royal, director of Nouveau riche, with his favorite actor and collaborator Nassim Lyes. In fact, if we access the Netflix home page, we find the category “Most wanted“, which mixes the series and films currently most requested on the streaming platform. And in this category we therefore note Passing throughavailable on Netflix from February 2021.

Before Nouveau richestill very high in the Top 10 films since its inclusion on November 17, Julien Royal and Nassim Lyes then wrote the feature Passing through, inspired by their web series of the same name, starring Nassim Lyes and Hedi Bouchenafa in the lead roles. The first is Cokeman and the second is Hedi, the two worst drug dealers in Paris, and together they will try to do business with Hedi’s future brother-in-law, Arsène (Fred Testot), a rich industrialist who is also a drug trafficker. .
A stoner movie French way
Everything that makes the success of Nouveau riche it’s already there, in germ, inside Passing through. Unbridled humor, brought especially by a madly energetic Nassim Lyes who spends most of the film in underwear and fur. They flinch and scream and hit each other hard, and the cast is extremely solid. Indeed, in addition to Nassim Lyes and Hedi Bouchenafa, there are, among others, Julie Ferrier, Vincent Desagnat, Hakim Jemili and Charlotte Gabris, Julien Courbey, Jonathan Lambert, and also Kemar, Bun-hay Mean and Brahim Bouhlel.
Inventive, regressive, as messy as possible and always joyful, Passing through it made a big difference in French comedy cinema at the time of its release. A difference that therefore paved the way not for a sequel, but for a new original film, brought forward by the same screenwriter duo, and from which it collects the energy and good ideas: Nouveau riche. The circle closes, and in a beautiful way!
