I have just found out this is a remake of a Japanese film which i shall now watch.
It is postmodern cinema and in that VERy French - could be Derrida of Foucault at work! The direct us a fan of Jean-Luc Goddard, so makes sense.
me I find it all way too tricksy and contrived for my tastes. All this film in a film in a film tricksy stuff.
Beware viewers - the first half hour is worth sticking with as all will become clear later. I almost turned off after 25 minutes and am glad I did not.
I found it all deeply annoying rather than enjoyable or even clever, like all postmodern jiggerypokery then!
French-British actor Finnegan Oldfield (Brit dad, from Lewes) shines in this so will search out his other films.
BUT in general, this is a curiosity piece. 2 stars
Watch TROPIC THUNDER instead, the best and funniest film in a film like this.
I enjoyed this .Anything Romain Duris is in i seem to like .It's all set in one location .I thought it was clever & i was laughing out loud quite frequently.
