Prime-Video - Flashback : the first information

By Mulder, 22 march 2021

Amazon Prime Video today confirmed the greenlighting of a new French Amazon Original movie, Flashback, an irresistible and witty comedy featuring comedian Caroline Vigneaux as well as Sophia Aram, Suzanne Clément, Lison Daniel, Issa Doumbia, Gad Elmaleh, Lannick Gautry, Emy Ltr, Florent Peyre and Sylvie Testud. Produced by Alain Goldman for Légende Films, Flashback will air exclusively on Prime Video in France and in more than 240 countries and territories in 2021.

Flashback tells the story of Charlie, a gifted, cynical and narcissistic lawyer, who, after winning a new case, meets Hubert, a non-conformist VTC driver who will take her on an unexpected journey through the corridors of time! During this journey that will take her from prehistory to the French Revolution, she will cross paths with those who fought for women's rights and witness historical events that she should never have forgotten. To get out of this time loop, she will have to understand her role as a woman in society and learn to help those whose voices are not heard, even today.

"We are very excited to be working with Alain Goldman to bring this Amazon Original French comedy to our Prime Video subscribers in France and around the world," said Georgia Brown, Director of European Creative Amazon Originals for Amazon Studios. "Collaborating with Caroline Vigneaux on her first feature film as a director makes this project even more special for us. We are confident that she will delight our customers with this funny and consciousness-raising film."

"Flashback is a perfect example of how comedy is a resourceful genre that can tell a story with a message that is truly needed in this day and age," said Thomas Dubois, Director of Amazon Originals for Amazon Studios. "The film develops Caroline Vigneaux's unique perspective on the history of women's rights. It's also an unexpected and hilarious trip back in time that we can't wait to bring to our Prime subscribers in France. "

Flashback will join a wide selection of Amazon Original French series and films, such as Brutus vs. Caesar and Forte, which have recently been hugely successful, or thousands of programs in the Prime Video France catalog, such as the award-winning and critically acclaimed Amazon Original series The Boys, Hunters, Jack Ryan, Homecoming, Good Omens, Star Trek: Picard, Carnival Row, The Grand Tour, American Gods, Modern Love and La Fabuleuse Mmr Maisel, or the French Amazon Original series Génération Brut, Love Island, True Story, the fan-favorite films Borat 2, After - Chapter 2, Bloodshot, Pinocchio and the latest one-man shows by Norman, Jérôme Commandeur, Alban Ivanov, Fabrice Eboué, Ary Abittan, Franck Dubosc, all available on Prime Video at no extra cost for Amazon Prime subscribers.
