New York Premiere! Director Renaud Cohen in person at both screenings!

New York Premiere! Director Renaud Cohen in person at both screenings!
This delightfully self-referential satire stars actor-director Renaud Cohen as Simon, a director who hasn’t made a film in 10 years and has begun attending a support group for ex-filmmakers struggling to kick their addiction to film. When he shaves his head on a bet and discovers a cranial lump that may or may not be the beginning of the end, he leaps into production—and existential crisis—to make the only film he knows how: the one about the life he is living. Charming and self-effacing, the film turns angst into whimsy and humor in the best French tradition.
Screening With:
