This evening's viewing distraction, Le Deuxième Acte by Quentin Dupieux, which was sent my way for review. A dark French comedy which has me happily giggling away so far (obviously doing my giggling in French too, of course).

Divertida e ingeniosa meta-comedia que nos presenta Dupiex. Mezclando habilmente diferentes capas de realidad, da la sensación que gran parte de los diálogos son improvisados debido a su naturalidad. Una de sus buenas, habrá que ver como aguanta un segundo visionado.

The Second Act (original title: Le Deuxième Acte) is a reflexive, self-aware, metafictional film that pretends to deconstruct its very own medium. It’s also a fucking retarded piece of shit that is stupid in direct proportion to how witty it fancies itself.

The Second Act

Written and directed by Quentin Dupieux; starring Louis Garrel, Raphaël Quenard, Léa Seydoux, Vincent Lindon, Manuel Guillot

The cast of an arthouse movie squabble during its filming.

Excellent cast that fully delivers the material. But despite Dupieux’s flair of the absurd, the film gets mired in technical in-jokes and a meta deconstruction of filmmaking that is more empty than meaningful, and rarely actually funny.

Rating: D
