User Reviews

a heavy-handed kitsch criticism of 1970's French TV

jean yanne is a character in the history of french cinema. But rather as a phlegmatic actor. He is better writer than director: he definitely has talent to criticize the scandaleous ways the 1970's french TV worked. His fake commercials are kinda funny for they are provocative... but the whole movie is so heavy that it gets boring. So, no need to watch it. Unless you're a big village people fan: the score is a 100% disco soundtrack... 3/10
