Narco

Narco is a 2004 French comedy film directed by Tristan Aurouet and Gilles Lellouche and produced by Les Productions du Trésor. Starring Guillaume Canet, the film follows Gus, a narcoleptic whose life becomes difficult because his condition prevents him from holding down a job.

Action star Jean-Claude Van Damme appears as a fictionalized version of himself: idolized by Gustave as a true "karate man," he shows up in the character's imagination to play the voice of his conscience. Although Van Damme's mother tongue is French and he already had two decades of acting experience at the time, this was in fact his first French-language role. The cast also includes François Berléand, Lionel Abelanski and Valérie Lemercier.
