Jappeloup is a 2013 French film directed by Christian Duguay. In January 2014, Lou de Laâge was nominated for the Most Promising Actress award at the 39th César Awards.
In the early 1980s, Pierre Durand, Jr. gives up on his career as a lawyer and turns to professional show jumping. He purchases Jappeloup de Luze (1975-1991) from Henry Delage. He loses at the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, California, but wins at the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul, South Korea.
It was shown at the COLCOA film festival in Los Angeles, California in 2013.
For The Hollywood Reporter, the film offers "a rather classic mix of stunts and sentiment before galloping ahead to its stirring equine finale."
