In this hilarious satire, social contracts are broken and hackneyed forms of entertainment are upended. Corralling a brilliant cast into a boisterous deconstruction of actors’ egos and audience expectations, Quentin Dupieux revels in the insights of an outsider in his latest meta-provocation.

Say it looong. Say it loud! Quentin Dupieux is going for mammoth laughs in this time-warped, gaga homage to a giant of surrealism. Flummoxing Anaïs Demoustier’s straightwoman, a carousel of actors take turns being Dalí—each one with a different, eccentric version of his moustache-twirling panache.
