La Classe américaine
Warning! This film is not a film about cycling.
Directed by Dominique Mézerette, Michel Hazanavicius
Produced by Dune
A wildly inventive collage-parody that remixes Hollywood footage with French dubbing to create absurdist comedy out of cinematic fragments.
George Abitbol, the classiest man in the world, dies tragically during a cruise. The director of an American newspaper, wondering about the meaning of these intriguing final words, asks his three best investigators, Dave, Peter and Steven, to solve the mystery. (Sixteen French actors dub scenes from various Warner Bros. films to create a parody of Citizen Kane, 1941.)
