    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Each time Octave Parango (played by Jean Dujardin) is in a bad trip, Frédéric Beigbeder appears. It certainly refers to the fact that Beigbeder worked himself in an advertising agency as Octave in the movie.
    • Goofs
      When Octave's version of the Starlight commercial is shown on television for the first time, the blob of yogurt on his eyebrow disappears and reappears between takes. This commercial is cross-clipped from several different takes. The lack of continuity is most certainly intentional.
    • Quotes

      Octave Parango: Everything is bought. Love, Art, planet earth, you me. Especially me. The man is a product like any other, with a limit sell by date. I am advertising, I am one of those that make you dream the things you will ever have. Blue skies, never ugly chicks, perfect happiness and retouched in Photoshop. You think I embellished the world? lost, I screw it up. Everything is temporary. Love, Art, planet Earth, you, me. Especially me

    8/10
    Entertaining comedy about advertising and western consumerism
    Dark comedy about the world of advertising, full of cocaine-fueled madness, based on the eponymous autobiographical novel by Frédéric Beigbeder. It's a transparent critique of western consumerism, a bit naive and full of clichés and a bit cynical. A very entertaining film overall.
