About King of My Castle (2024) — A lavish comedy with a time-travel twist to teach humility
Alexandre Charlot's *King of My Castle (2024)* delivers a sharp, modern twist on class satire, blending slapstick comedy with psychological mischief. A wealthy hotel magnate, determined to humble his entitled son, hires a film director to construct an 18th-century village set—complete with hidden cameras and a carefully orchestrated deception.
