Maybe a little too frenetic (the center clearly will not hold) and tricked out for its own good (some great use of digital technology sits beside some overused techniques), 99F still comes off as an excellent example of making damning social commentary with largess and humour noir dark enough to fill a few chapters in a Martin Amis novel. Framed as a high-style first-person drive through the utterly vapid land of advertising, 99F juxtaposes awareness with its lack, humanity with its absence, lucidity with opacity. Featuring an unprincipled principal character who is driven to an act of commercial sabotage due almost solely to the slight of having his inherently lame advertising concept for Madonna Yogurt (from her breast to your lips) made even lamer by his client's own "tutu concept", an unsustainable world and worldview become further destabilized. Completely unaware of himself, his actions and the effect his actions have on others, it's often hard to tell which of these hollow men are the most hurtful here -- which, I hope, was the point. Delusion is layered on top of delusion, artifice and artificiality predominate motives, thought and action. The fallen man becomes a literally falling man and only on the way down does he gain some slight glimpse of life outside the monstrous construct he has helped create and perpetuate. Hilariously sad, thematically astute, incredibly well-conceived and acted, manipulative and discomforting -- your laughter functions solely as a bulwark against pain. Ambitious in scope and scale, playing with the postmod aesthetic and buttoning things up nicely, 99F leaves us with just one question: What would Godard do?

Awesome French movie with truth, humor, surprises and creative entertainment at is best. Bravo la France!
Reviewed in the United States on April 21, 2012
A sumptious visual feast, this film ultimately sinks beneath its pretense. There is undoubtably a story to be told in the effect of wanton commercialism. But this film betrays and almost uniquely French ability to simultaneously profit from and disown Western civilization as we know it. And while the world's advertising budget could indeed put a huge dent in world hunger, for how long? And to what end result? It's certainly possible to live in the modern world without going near the levels of excess shown in the movie. That's what most people do every day.

my favourite movie ever- absolutely mind-blowing
Reviewed in the United States on May 10, 2016
Inside the wall of the advertising world, Octave Parango played by Jean Dujardin is failing to cope with the intense, stress, boiling plate temperature that advertisement workers have to put up with on a daily basis.

With million dollar contracts pending, with sex appeal in many ads to attract buyers, with a daily need for creative ideas, Parango is this avant grande, eccentric, off the wall, wacky, droll, movie, yet interesting enough to watch. This is far from a typical movie of boy meets girl, boy loses girl, boy gets back girl, this movie is more like calling V V V V V a straight line in the making. Yet Dujardin performs excellently as a ad burn out workers, who knows he is at the whim of the client's opinion.

To add to that he's also at the whim of his girlfriend to treat her with the proper respect. All of the skimpy plotline, visually this movie is a treat. Cartoons are mixed in with real actors with a strong show of technology. Nonetheless, the intense need to succeed in the advertisement takes center stage in this 2007 movie directed by the French Dutch director Jan Kounen.

Personally I like strange, off the wall movies, and I was really close to given 99 Francs five stars, but I fell short, and only gave it four. Reason, this film was made nine years ago, it could be labeled already as passé. Yet it could have been made last year, but it wasn't. If it were, then I would have hit the five star button.

we wanted to like this movie - we did like the actors and the movie was well produced - but the movie was just very stupid and vulgar and pretended to be funny which it was not - if you like what appears to be a drug induced sophomoric story that is truly meaningless ok but if you enjoy beautiful French films with a great story pass this one by - we hope to find a much better movie next time - which should be very easy to do

5.0 out of 5 stars Better than its reputation
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 28, 2016
This film was better than what I heard about it. The first impression was bad: clichés on a stereotyped life, prejudiced ideas on married life, money, women... Then the message appears slowly about what is important in life. Still one would not agree with everything but Jean Dujardin is a really great actor.

5.0 out of 5 stars Une pub contre la pub...
Reviewed in France on July 12, 2016
Bon film. Jean Dujardin sait être un bon acteur. Il le prouve avec ce long métrage qu'il porte à bout de bras. Il arrive à être omniprésent à l'écran cumulé à sa narration en voix off sans donner une impression "d'overdose" de lui même. L'air de rien, c'est une petite performance à relever.

Utilisant avec justesse les effets spéciaux, qu'il maitrise parfaitement, Jan Kounen nous dépeint parfaitement l'univers de la pub. Tout est rutilant et clinquant, l'image semble constamment retouchée, la caméra bouge à l'excès jusqu'à nous donner le tournis (notamment lors du passage cartoon complètement psychédélique), puis nous offre des oasis de calme, pour ingérer les informations et passer à la suite. Bref, c'est une pub. Une pub grand format qui nous vend l'anti-pub.

Ce n'est ni plus ni moins que ça. Une pub contre la pub. J. Kounen nous offre un final réjouissant car faussement double, alors qu'il n'est bien qu'un : le réel et le fantasmé.

Oui nous sommes constamment exposés à la pub. Oui la pub nous façonne, créée le désir en nous, nous fruste, mode et démode. Mais bon, on est arrivé à une époque où la pub se redéfinit, étend son territoire. Tous ces constats, ils ont été dénoncés, ingérés par la masse. Les publicitaires aussi le savent.

5.0 out of 5 stars Complètement déjanté
Reviewed in France on May 12, 2014
Pour moi, tout avait impeccablement bien commencé. L’ambiance était bonne, le Dj excellent, la température agréable, les filles superbes, l’alcool à gogo, la drogue de qualité. Non, indéniablement, mes 33 premières années ont été parfaitement bien réussies. Mais je ne vais pas travestir la vérité. Je ne suis pas un gentil garçon. Je suis une grosse m***. Un héros moderne quoi. […] Je suis désolé d’être tellement en avance sur vous, mais c’est moi qui vais décider aujourd'hui ce qui vous plaira demain. Je me drogue à la nouveauté, et l’avantage de la nouveauté c’est qu’elle ne reste jamais neuve longtemps. L’idéal serait que vous commenciez par me détester avant de détester l’époque qui m’a crée. Donc voilà, je me prénomme Octave, Octave Parango. J’ai passé ma vie à vous manipuler contre 75 000 francs par mois. Quand à force d’économie vous réussirez à vous payer la bagnole de vos rêves, je l’aurais déjà démodé. Je suis celui qui pénètre votre cerveau, je jouis dans votre hémisphère droit. Votre désir ne vous appartient plus, je vous impose le mien. Jamais crétin aussi irresponsable que moi n’a été si puissant depuis 2000 ans.

On m'a dit que c'était un peu la vie de Beigbeider, le drogué qui faisait de la pub et qui tient un blog.

5.0 out of 5 stars excellente surprise
Reviewed in France on May 8, 2011
le hasard faisant parfois bien les choses je l'avais pris en cours a la tv.du coup je l'ai acheté.bien sur c'est un film "clivant" comme en attestent les commentaires.
personnellement j'ai trouvé ce film excellent,cruel , méchant ,extremement cynique mais trés amusant .dujardin parfait les autres aussi d'ailleurs.je ne sais si l'auteur crache dans la soupe,en attendant c'est tout a fait l'idée que je me fais du monde de la pub.
leur dicton n'est il pas:"ne prenez jamais les gens pour des c... mais n'oubliez pas qu'ils le sont"
ce film est plus profond qu'il n'y parait,et decrit sans detour l omnipresence et la formidable puissance de la publicité dans nos vies et son incroyable nocivité.
un trés bon moment de cinema.

5.0 out of 5 stars pamphlet utopique ?
Reviewed in France on April 16, 2008
Oui, c'est un pamphlet. Oui Dujardin s'en donne à coeur joie et réussi remarquablement son numéro (comme toujours, d'ailleurs). Mais "la petite phrase à la fin" que certains trouvent inutile rend tout le film important: c'est dérangeant, oui c'est un film trash, c'est peut être vain (comme la pub qui coûte si cher ).
En quoi est-il vain de réfléchir sur le fait que avec seulement 20% du budget consacré à la pub, on nourrirait les pays qui meurent de faim?
Il resterait encore 80% à tous ces c*** pour faire joujou avec le fric pour des produits sans intérêt !!!
Seul bémol: ne pas croire la mention sur le boîtier "tout public"; c'est un film à ne pas mettre sous tous les yeux !
