Malevil (film)

Malevil is a 1981 post-apocalyptic French film directed by Christian de Chalonge.

The film takes place in a small village named "Malevil" within central France.

Due to an administrative issue, the mayor, pharmacist, farmers, traders, and other villagers attend a meeting in the local château's large wine cellar on a beautiful sunny day in late summer.

The screenplay is based on the 1972 novel Malevil by French science fiction writer Robert Merle.

Merle, who believed that the spirit of his novel had been misrepresented, asked for his name to be not mentioned in the credits.
