The casting of the new Quentin Dupieux is presented
Quentin Dupieux once again fields an extravagant cast in his new comedy The second actwhich will be the evening of May 14th the opening of the 2024 Cannes Film Festival. Stars therefore, accompanied by an actor who, however, is not one but has been working for 30 years in theatre, cinema, television and dubbing, Manuel Guillot. This is the last one to appear in this trailer (video at the top of the article), shortly after Louis Garrel, Vincent Lindon, Raphaël Quenard and Léa Seydoux appeared in front of the camera. Presentations in a sequence shot where everyone seems to be walking on a path and where each, in the mise en abyme which will be one of the dimensions of the The second actexplains that he is the main character of the film.
A nod to worship Tanned people go skiing
The second act seems to be in the vein of the absurd dear to Quentin Dupieux, with a story of actors who “protagonist of a crappy movie“, as Léa Seydoux recently mentioned in an interview with Télérama. The “disgusting” film in question has this synopsis:
Florence wants to introduce David, the man she is madly in love with, to her father Guillaume. But David is not attracted to Florence and wants to get rid of her by throwing her into the arms of her friend Willy. The four characters then find themselves in a restaurant in the middle of nowhere.
If we are to believe the words of Léa Seydoux on the mise en abyme, Louis Garrel then embodies in “this film within the film” David, Léa Seydoux is Florence, Vincent Lindon is Guillaume and Raphaël Quenard is Willy. Only Manuel Guillot does not say who his character is, but the few images from the film revealed elsewhere strongly suggest that he is the manager of the restaurant where these characters are they meet again.
Splendid fans will immediately recognize this trailer The second act refers to that of comedy Tanned people go skiingwhere the actors each introduced themselves as the star of the film.
