About the Racer and the Jailbird 💬

When Gino meets racing driver Bénédicte 'Bibi' Delhany, it's love at first sight. Passionate. Unconditional. Fiery.
But Gino 'Gigi' Vanoirbeek has a secret. The kind of secret that can endanger your life and the lives of those ones around you.
Gino and Bénédicte will have to fight against fate, reason and their own weaknesses to save their love.

RACER AND THE JAILBIRD - aka LE FIDÈLE - is Michaël R. Roskam's third feature film after the internationally known 'Bullhead' (2011), and his US debut 'The Drop' (2014). A triumph in on-screen chemistry and atmosphere, RACER AND THE JAILBIRD is a fiery collision between thrilling ensemble crime saga and intimate Shakespearean tragedy.

• DIRECTOR'S STATEMENT

RACER AND THE JAILBIRD is a fictional tale of love and crime, of desire and failure. A love tragedy, or better, an Amour Noir. I consider RACER AND THE JAILBIRD to be the second part of my crime trilogy. Each part is freely based on a particular moment in Belgian criminal history. For Bullhead, my source of inspiration was the hormone mafia. This time, I draw inspiration from notorious Brussels gangs and the equally by the adrenaline-driven world of auto racing. However, as was the case with Bullhead, RACER AND THE JAILBIRD will not be a film about these gangs, nor a biography of one or another real-life gangster. The foundation of this story is the love between a man and a woman and the impossibility of actualizing their relationship. Their love is thwarted not only by their characters and origins, but also by the blows that fate deals them.
