This entry by Cédric Kahn (The Goldman Case, Wild Life, EUFF 2015) in the film-about-filmmaking genre is a high-energy comedy about the snares of industry work, starting with the compromises and hypocrisies of international co-production financing! Simon is making a film about a worker’s strike. When his film’s production partners turn out to not hold for the length of the shoot, the crew considers taking a page out of the fiction they’re enacting to solve the real-world indignity they’re being subject to—can Simon truly disagree with their tactical response? Denis Podalydès, last seen in a starring role as a Philip Roth stand-in for Arnaud Desplechin’s Deception, plays the stressed-out director, while cinematographer Patrick Ghiringhelli (The Night of the 12) captures the metafictional madness.
