Angel-A is a 2005 French romantic fantasy comedy-drama film written and directed by Luc Besson. The film stars Jamel Debbouze as André, a small-time con artist drowning in debt and contemplating suicide, and Rie Rasmussen as Angela, a mysterious woman who saves him and helps him resolve his crises. Shot in stark black-and-white cinematography by Thierry Arbogast and set against the iconic backdrop of Paris, the film explores themes of redemption, self-worth, and supernatural intervention. Besson returned to directing after a six-year hiatus with this more intimate, dialogue-driven project, which he also produced under his EuropaCorp banner.
