Typical! Edouard Baer is famous in France for his second degree and shifted humor -- his second movie is way beyond that. The overall atmosphere of the film is voluntarily odd, starting with a thriller action and quickly turning into a nonsense plot.
His first movie, La Bostella, was already totally different from the average comedy. No big jokes, no quick action, only a bunch of guys getting a hard time brainstorming with the content of their next comedy show. He is back this time with another level of weird comedy.
Edouard Baer enjoys throwing absurd lines to his spectators, and he does it in a brilliant, astonishing way. He gets our attention by introducing a valid story, involving small-time crooks, a mafia boss and a former jet-set party animal. When everyone is ready (characters, actors, spectators), he unveils his true plan - a grand party where everyone plays a spontaneous role, from the spectator to the cast and even the movie crew.
Then he slowly trashes his own movie to make it sink into delirious scenes, offering the spectator a great, never-seen-before time, filled with wide-opened eyes and tremendous laughs.
