Synopsis

In 1976, Count Arnaud de Toledo and Florindo Bonamici invented a revolutionary technology for X-raying the Earth’s layers, but lacked the necessary funds. Elf saw this as a way to save French competitiveness. An ambitious executive, the count’s daughter, and a brilliant engineer embarked on the adventure, driven by hope and ambition.

Our take

Led by an impressive cast featuring Jérémie Renier and Karim Leklou, Eldorado masterfully balances tension and humor as it explores the promises and illusions of innovation. Director Louis Farge (Culte, Follow) brings to life a gripping narrative by Tarek Houady and Nacim Nehtar, weaving together a high-stakes tale of oil rush, political maneuvering, and industrial scandals.
