Synopsis

In his dreams, Jean-Marc is a knight in shining armor, a star of the screen and a successful author who has women fallen at his feet. In reality, Jean-Marc is a nobody, civil servant, insignificant husband, failed father, and closet smoker. Will he be able to resist the temptations of his dreamland?

Our take

With an eclectic cast featuring Diane Kruger, this Quebecois anomaly by Denys Arcand (The Barbarian Invasions) is a world in which tedious reality gives way to the most self-indulging of fantasies. A part of Arcand’s trilogy on the decline of Western society post-millennium.
