I Always Wanted To Be A Gangster (15)

At the centre of Samuel Benchetrit’s charming existential comedy about wishful criminality are four stories and an unadorned roadside cafeteria. A small time criminal decides to hold up the cafeteria, but has second thoughts when he’s captivated by the waitress. A pair of good-natured kidnappers hold a teenage girl for ransom but fail to anticipate her suicidal tendencies. Two musicians (once friends) meet by chance. One is successful; the other sees a chance to settle the score. Finally, four retired crooks spring their ailing buddy from a hospital and head to their old hideout, where they entertain the notion of one final heist.
