About This Movie

Something Fishy is this intriguing blend of comedy and drama, where a private eye, played by Anémone, navigates the messy intersections of her work and personal life. The film captures a unique atmosphere, blending humor with a slightly melancholic undertone. You get this gritty yet charming view of a detective's world, with Maxime’s chain smoking and mismatched wardrobe adding to her character's depth. The pacing feels relaxed, almost like a leisurely stroll through Paris, allowing viewers to soak in the nuances of her cases and relationships. What sets it apart is the way it presents a flawed protagonist—Maxime isn’t your typical glamorous detective but rather a relatable figure struggling with her reality. The performances have a raw quality, making the film feel authentic and engaging.

Focus on character-driven storytelling.Gritty and humorous take on private detective genre.Unique atmospheric blend of comedy and melancholy.
