Malevil is a French post-apocalyptic science fiction film based on the 1972 novel of the same name by Robert Merle. The film is directed by Christian de Chalonge and stars Michel Serrault, Jacques Dutronc, and Jean-Louis Trintignant.
The film begins in the southern French town of Malevil, where the local mayor, Emmanuel Comte, is enjoying some wine with his friends and employees in his castle's wine cellar. Suddenly, a blinding light and loud explosion shake the castle, and the group is forced to take cover in the cellar.
When they emerge several hours later, they are shocked to discover that the world as they knew it has ended. The town and surrounding area are completely destroyed, and everyone else appears to be dead.
As the group slowly comes to terms with the new reality of their situation, they must band together to survive in this new, harsh world. They scavenge what they can from the ruins of the town and set up a new community in the castle, relying on each other for support and protection.
However, as they begin to explore their new world, they make a shocking discovery: they are not alone. Other survivors, including a group of neo-Nazi fanatics, are also struggling to survive. The two groups clash in a brutal battle for resources and dominance, threatening to tear apart the fragile peace the Malevil survivors have built.
Malevil is a thought-provoking film about the resilience of humanity in the face of disaster, and the ways in which we can come together to rebuild even when everything seems lost.
