Film à clef

A film à clef (or cinéma à clef, movie à clef,[1] film à clé (French pronunciation: [film a kle]), French for "film with a key"), is a film describing real life, behind a façade of fiction.[2] "Key" in this context means a table one can use to swap out the names.

Film à clef is the film equivalent of the literary roman à clef, and the two share the same techniques.[1]

Many films à clef are biopics of Hollywood personalities.[1]
