The Kidnapping of Michel Houellebecq (2014)

1h 32m 2014 France

In September 2011, acclaimed writer Michel Houellebecq vanished, sparking wild speculation that he had been kidnapped by Al-Qaeda or extraterrestrials. Some even welcomed his absence. This film uncovers the truth: three rugged men with striking hairstyles abducted the reclusive author, seeking to liberate him from the pressures of fame and his home renovations. They whisk him away to a charming rural setting filled with dog grooming, bodybuilding contests, junk cars, and Polish sausages. The central question lingers: who will ultimately foot the ransom bill for his return?
