Fascinating film about the intertwining of reality and fiction. Several levels of reality and narrative lines mingle without us knowing where reality is and where the dream is. As with Buñuel or Borges, the dream is included in a dream which is included in a dream which is included in a dream...
This could have been too cold or abstract, but an ensemble of fun, very well-acted characters make it an enjoyable experience. There are many hilarious scenes, especially with the aspiring filmmaker Jason Tantra (Alain Chabat) and the film producer Bob Marshall (Jonathan Lambert). The fact that half of the actors are French and speak French and the other half are American and speak English adds to the diffracted and unsettling nature of the film.
This mad premise is supported and enhanced by a haunting musical loop composed by Philip Glass which constitutes the only music soundtrack of the film. Fantastic.
