Arsène Lupin (2004) is a period piece that prioritizes historical authenticity over modern diversity. The film's casting and gender dynamics reflect the rigid social hierarchies of the Belle Époque, resulting in low scores for racial and LGBTQ+ diversity. However, the film provides a sophisticated critique of class-based power structures and systemic corruption. By framing the protagonist's crimes as a response to aristocratic corruption, it deconstructs the morality of the era's legal and social institutions. Ultimately, the film is a study of systemic power, trading social diversity for a complex commentary on institutional integrity and situational ethics.
