13 Days, 13 Nights

13 Days, 13 Nights (French: 13 Jours, 13 Nuits) is a 2025 political thriller film directed by Martin Bourboulon, co-written by Bourboulon and Alexandre Smia and based on Mohamed Bida's non-fiction novel of same name. It stars Roschdy Zem as Bida, alongside Lyna Khoudri and Sidse Babett Knudsen, and follows the 2021 evacuation of the French Embassy in Kabul during the Taliban takeover. The film had its world premiere out of competition of the 2025 Cannes Film Festival on 23 May. It was theatrically released in France on 27 June by Pathé. It received generally positive reviews, with critics praising Zem performance, but under-performed at the French box office despite its €30 million budget.
