Paulette (France, 2016)



Kind of a French Breaking Bad, except the old woman who turns marijuana dealer is already an awful person.

She a terrible racist. When her Black grandchild asks her why she hates him, she says, "Because you're Black." Her Black son-in-law is a cop on the trail of a minor drug kingpin in the area. When she hears how much money can be made selling marijuana, she wants in on it using her business skills from running a restaurant.

She has a number of triumphs. She also gets beaten up by neighborhood drug dealers. She almost gets caught by her son-in-law a couple of times. She's the opposite of Walter White in that gradually becomes a less horrible person.

Like almost every other French movie, it makes France look terrible.

Available on "Cohen Media" on Amazon Prime.
