The Counterfeiters (Template:Lang-fr) is a 2010 television film based on the 1925 novel The Counterfeiters by André Gide. The two-hour film was directed by Benoît Jacquot and stars Melvil Poupaud as Edouard X., Maxime Berger as Olivier, and Dolores Chaplin as Lady Lilian Griffith.

Originally Jacquot, who is also the screenwriter, had planned this project as a 180-minute two-parter, but this was later reduced to a 120-minute telefilm.[1]

The film premiered on France 2 on January 5, 2011.[2][3] In March 2012, it was released on region 2 DVD by Optimale.[4]
