Maybe this was good when it was made, but by today's standards it is hokey and dated. The effects just aren't well done. For instance, Lupin slaps a man around to try to make him reveal the location of a secret paper, but the slaps are obviously staged and look like a sound effect applied over a fake slap.

The costumes were nice as were the interiors.

The plot was both slow paced and confusing.

Most of Arsène Lupin's disguises looked weird, especially the blonde wig and eye makeup.

I don't think I will watch anymore episodes in this series.

The current remake with Omar Sy is quite good, though.

French-language cinema, whether in France, Québec, or other Francophone regions, explores cultural identity, social change, and the tension between the individual and society. French cinema is not only celebrated for its intellectual experimentation and auteur traditions, but also its success in mainstream comedy, romance, and commercial entertainment. In Québec, films often focus on questions of language, belonging, and community within a distinct cultural landscape.
