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.

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.
