Overview
- The film opened in French cinemas on July 2, marking Dupieux’s latest entry into absurdist social commentary.
- Adèle Exarchopoulos plays Magalie Moreau, a pain-insensitive influencer who hides in a Haute-Savoie chalet after causing a fatal accident.
- Supporting roles include Jérôme Commandeur as her press attaché, Sandrine Kiberlain as a blackmailing journalist and Karim Leklou as an obsessive fan.
- Initial reviews are sharply divided between those calling it Dupieux’s weakest work for its relentless cruelty and those hailing its decomplexed misanthropy as a career highlight.
- This third Exarchopoulos–Dupieux collaboration builds on his darkly comic critique of celebrity obsession seen in earlier films like Yannick and Daaaaaali!
