Vernon Subutex once owned the finest record shop in Paris. Now, almost fifty years old, unemployed and depending on the kindness of friends for a place to stay, Vernon has one thing that a lot of people want: the filmed last will and testament of the late rock star Alexandre Bleach. Can he use this to turn his life around? A depiction of a generation of people and the often flawed choices they make when young, a Zola-like examination of modern Paris and a love letter to rock and roll, Vernon Subutex One has taken France by storm.
