Albert Delpy

This irreverent, absurdist comedy overtly steals the spirit and style of a sacred tradition of French New Wave cinema, romanticizing its ethos while charmingly parodying the stereotypes that populate Gallic movies. From the Quinzaine, a summery dose of pure Frenchness.

Quentin Dupieux’s deadpan comedy on the narcissistic nature of filmmaking is luridly obsessed with objects, from suede jackets to mirrors and cameras. Sharing an easy chemistry on screen, Jean Dujardin and Adèle Haenel lend charm and poignancy to this profoundly funny, fantastical fable.
