David MThe 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
