Synopsis
In the aftermath of the 1973 oil crisis, a visionary Belgian aristocrat and an Italian inventor convince Elf Aquitaine that they can detect oil from the air — launching one of the greatest technological illusions in industrial history. A story loosely based on one of the biggest scandals in modern history.
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 Haoudy and Nacim Nehtar, weaving together a high-stakes tale of oil rush, political maneuvering, and industrial scandals.
