Synopsis
"The Car Keys" (Les Clefs de bagnole) is a 2003 French comedy directed by Laurent and Philippe Lévêque, starring **Daniel Russo. The plot revolves around a day in the life of a film director named Daniel, on a quest to find his lost car keys. The film unfolds as a road movie, featuring encounters with various quirky characters and amusing situations across the streets of Paris. Mixing elements of satire and meta-cinema, the movie cleverly blurs the lines between fiction and reality, often incorporating self-referential humor and cameos. Its portrayal of urban life and the obsessive journey adds to the movie's charm and comedic undertone.
