The Misadventures of Hedi and Cokeman อยากจะเฟี้ยวต้องกล้าเฟอะ (2021) [บรรยายไทย]

The Gist: To call Hedi (Hedi Bouchenafa) and Cokeman (Nassim Lyes) low-level drug dealers would be putting them at ground level. Example? Cokeman, whose preferred garb is a fur coat paired with tighty whities, dupes a rube into buying (and snorting) plaster dust, while Hedi is over in a more expensive Paris neighborhood slinging baggies of hash to the posh kids that are actually filled with dog crap. Nursing his swollen face from the fallout of that ruse, Hedi attends the wedding of his sister Zlatana, where he tells his partner in crime about the family’s long standing credo: they’re scammers at heart, and this ceremony is no different, with Zlatana only marrying uppity bakery mogul Arsene (Fred Testot) for his pastry money. Arsene also deals in illicit drugs, and the overbearing Zlatana forces him to take on her bumbling brother and his buddy as his newest weed dealers. Arsene takes one look at them standing outside the wedding chapel, with Cokeman still in his fur wrap and undies, and knows he’s made a terrible mistake.

Not only does this doofus duo manage to lose the product and proceeds of their first ten kilos of “Mojo Mango,” but they torch Arsene’s SUV in the process. Hedi and Cokeman laugh off the setback, as they do with all setbacks. Cokeman even laughs off the death of a flunkie at the hands of a blind thug with a bazooka who was actually gunning for him. They don’t just laugh. They laugh maniacally, derisively, almost violently. In the cartoonish funhouse of these Misadventures, spontaneous chortling contortions are a recurring motif.

With Zlatana forcing the pliant Arsene to keep Hedi and Cokeman supplied, the two build a new string of dealers: two inept university students; an aging stoner who lurks at the unemployment office; and a young artist who runs a collective. And with structural support from Hedi’s new squeeze Yvonne (Julie Ferrier), the crew actually starts to rake in some serious Mojo Mango moolah. Of course this success goes to their heads, and of course they screw it up, but with another bout of maniacal laughter, Hedi and Cokeman concoct a plan to corral enough weed from Arsene that they can continue their string even if Zlatana leaves him for a richer guy, which she’s totally planning to do. When the mogul, his thugs, Hedi and Cokeman and their idiot crew, and the drug squad cops on everyone’s tail finally go head to head to head, it’s an opportunity for demises and startling bloodshed played for broad humor. These guys are gonna laugh all the way to the gallows.
