The Netflix film worn by Kaaris and Alassane Diong is not only a hit in France, but also internationally, despite no promotion from the platform.
Another French film that is a hit on Netflix outside of France! The streaming platform unveils every Wednesday a top 10 of the films and series that have been the most viewed in the world and in terms of foreign language feature films, Le Roi des Ombres came in first place with 12,560,000 hours viewed last week.
This drama imagined by Kaaris centers on two half-brothers who find themselves opposed to each other in a conflict after the death of their father. A misunderstanding that could ignite everything and have tragic consequences. The French rapper gives here the reply to Alassane Diong.

If French subscribers and critics didn’t really catch on with this fratricidal story as we explained to you here, that didn’t prevent Le Roi des Ombres from shining internationally, and without any promotion or interview given to the press. In the United States, for example, articles on the subject by the press do not abound on the Internet.
The film directed by Marc Fouchard (Break) probably benefited from effective word of mouth, in particular on TikTok where Netflix subscribers give their opinion. The King of Shadows therefore joins the list of very closed French productions that cross our borders thanks to Netflix. Recently, it was the comedy Ibiza with Christian Clavier, Mathilde Seigner and JoeyStarr which found itself in the top 10 in the world.
