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.

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.
