Synopsis
The film is basically made up of three elements: the French pop duo Les Rita Mitsouko rehearsing to make a new record; a filmmaker called prince Mychkine, also named ‘the Idiot’ is in charge of writing, editing and delivering a film in a single day; and sketches with comic actor Jacques Villeret.

Our take
Inspired by the genius of Jacques Tati & Jerry Lewis, this episodic comedy from Godard’s 80s period laughs in the face of death, art, and the cinema. A self-described “fantasy for actor, camera and tape recorder” that jostles with slapstick and pulsates to the music of Rita Mitsouko.
