In the Waters of the Seine aims to be an entertaining genre film and political satire at the same time
According to Gens, his shark thriller is intended for entertainment, but also take aim at the hypocrisy of the French government. Especially with regard to the 2024 Olympic Games, which, despite their virtues, are contributing to the climate crisis:
Essentially, the Olympics are about bringing the people of the world together. That’s great and virtuous. But there’s also a lot of hypocrisy and a commercial ideology behind it that I don’t support.
