Stressed and overworked, famous French movie star Michel Blanc is beginning to wear down, physically and mentally, from the pressure and demands of fame. Already in a fragile state of mind, strange events start to transpire all around him, and he gradually loses his grip. Taking the advice of a psychiatrist, Blanc retreats to the countryside with his friend Carole Bouquet, but Blanc still has not managed to escape all of his problems.

VIBE

A disorienting dive into the anxieties of fame. It feels like a fever dream where reality blurs, punctuated by dry wit and existential dread. Perfect for a contemplative, slightly unsettling watch.
