Quentin Dupieux operates at such an excessive clip—-” the French Hong Sangsoo,” they’re calling him someplace, I think—- that a movie of his so conveniently gets our focus like A notre beau métier (To Our Attractive Career). Yet these initial information sing on actors alone: a Télérama (using Ion Movie theater) meeting with Léa Seydoux validates her participation together with Louis Garrel, Vincent Lindon, and constant celebrity Raphaël Quenard. Even better that we could see it soon, with Seydoux asserting, “Quentin offered me the film two months ago, the filming was done straight away, and we only filmed for two weeks!”
Her (equated) summary information A notre beau métier in mainly systematic style:
“It’s a mise en abyme around actors who play in a lousy film. Actors facing their character and their lines. Each role is dual. Vincent Lindon plays an actor who plays my father. There is also Raphaël Quenard and Louis Garrel. The film is crazy. Very, very funny. It ‘shits’ the verb, if you’ll pardon the expression!”
Perhaps not that last sentence, however we’ll chalk it up to translation just presuming. Seydoux, not precisely called a comical celebrity, approved the movie out of affection for Dupieux’s “humor [hiding] an increasingly social depth, through imperfect and clumsy characters,” which a doomed movie manufacturing must provide in spades.
Dupieux debuted 2 solid functions, Yannick and Daaaaaali!, in 2014. We likewise overtook him a pair years back at Berlinale, where he summarized his aspirations nicely: “I would love to shoot only stupid movies; it’s not a problem for me. But as a viewer, when a filmmaker starts to have their thing, then it’s boring. ‘Oh, him again. Yeah, stupid, I know.’ It becomes less and less exciting.”
