Rabah Nait Oufella – who was a teenager when he acted in the Palm d’Or winning film “The Class”, directed by Cantet in 2008 – plays Karim D. He is a confident French author riding fresh success with a new book, Débarquement. A rare Arab rising star in Paris’s intellectual hothouse, his social life moves between glittering cocktails and hanging with his old friends from the suburbs. But when Karim’s online identity as
Arthur Rambo is revealed, the two worlds collide. Arthur Rambo is about the precarity of being both French and Arab, outsider and establishment. The film was screened in Toronto and San Sebastian, among other festivals.
