The Netflix Original looks like a great heist thriller, written and directed by J.C. Chandor

Man I wish I could see that film some day.

If you're serious, my Netflix through a VPN may do the trick.

I'm serious of course, Chandor + Isaac and a strong premise. I wish there was a Netflix festival in a Paris cinema each year showing the best Netflix Originals of the year. There aren't that many I really want to see every year, honestly not enough for me to consider subscribing to it, maybe 15 or 20 each year. But that would make a great festival, and on the big screen.
I have friends with Netflix, so I know I could see some of those films, but I have th luxury of having so many cinemas showing so many films from every country and time in Paris, and I'd rather go see a film in theater than watching one at home on my computer screen.
If I didn't live in Paris, I'm sure I'd have Netflix though.

Are other European countries as strict with their theater rules as France? Might have to hop on a train to London to catch it in theaters, maybe.

Nope, just France.

Yep, just us. "L'exception culturelle".
I mean, we probably have one of the best systems in the world to produce local films, and to offer the best diversity possible in cinemas. But at the same time, as many things are fixed by the law and need a lot of corporations approval to move anything, we are a bit stuck in the Middle Ages in terms of the media chronology.
