Mr Freedom
In this political superhero pastiche of manic genius, fantastic, vitriolic anti-Americanism is matched only in its ribald intensity by the film's comic book energy and day-glow costumes.

From quelling US race riots to saving the French from themselves and Russian communists embodied by Moujik Man (Phillipe Noiret), our titular hero (John Abbey) and his sexy orange permed sidekick Marie-Madeleine (Delphine Seyrig) battle the forces of May '68.

This mind-boggling work of art agitation features cameos by Jesus (Sami Frey), dead heroes (Yves Montand), musical foot soldiers (Serge Gainsbourg) and gigantic inflatable world leaders!
