Two Worlds

Rémy Bassano, a practical French tradesman with a nose for a deal, is yanked into a distant, parallel world by a mysterious benevolent force. He discovers an oppressed tribe living under the rule of a harsh power and realizes that his smarts and resourcefulness might help them. Stranded far from home, he negotiates, improvises, and blunders through unfamiliar customs, odd machines, and a landscape where magic and commerce collide. Alongside him are Omi, a quick witted local guide played by Florence Loiret Caille, and a perceptive librarian portrayed by Catherine Mouchet. Their effort blends comic misadventures with a sense of wonder as a boundary between worlds is tested.

Directed by Daniel Cohen, Two Worlds originates from a concept by Jean-Marc Culiersi. Released in 2007, the film merges French humor with fantasy and time travel in a lighthearted adventure about crossing cultures.

Critics highlighted the film's spry charm and the strong chemistry among the cast, especially Benoit Poelvoorde and Florence Loiret Caille. It treats themes of oppression and cross cultural contact with a light touch, pairing whimsy with social observations without heaviness.

Box office details for this title are not widely reported, suggesting a modest release with limited international visibility. The film cultivated a small but appreciative audience in France and select international markets rather than a broad blockbuster footprint.
