Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Director Benoît Forgeard made this as a proof-of-concept for his feature 'Gros Chagrin,' expanding the same deadpan absurdism to feature length.
This captures a specific strain of contemporary French comedy—think Quentin Dupieux's universe where inanimate objects have better emotional intelligence than humans.
