Parc is a 2008 French drama film directed by Arnaud des Pallières. The film is based on John Cheever's 1969 novel Bullet Park. The film stars Sergi López, Jean-Marc Barr and Geraldine Chaplin. The film had its international premiere at the 2008 Toronto International Film Festival on 11 September.
Georges Clou (Lopez) is a successful salesman, enjoying the fruits of his labour as a resident of an exclusive gated community in the French Riviera. His life is seemingly idyllic, a beautiful home, a loving wife and a son. Appearances are deceptive as this idyllic vision is spoiled by the traumas his teenage son endures. Elsewhere in the community, Paul Marteau (Barr), arrives with a troubled past and uncertain future.[2]
For the adaptation, the filmmaker transported the script from the United States to the French Riviera, with most of the action taking place around Nice.[3]
Positif described the film as "a curious fusion between the world of Chabrol and Lynch that awakens a riot of empathic anti-establishment feeling".[3]
