Making Of

FRANCE
Directed by: Cédric Kahn

Simon (Denis Podalydes), a well-known French filmmaker, starts shooting his next film. A story about workers fighting to protect their factory from being relocated. But nothing goes as planned… His producer Viviane (Emmanuelle Bercot) wants to rewrite the ending and is threatening to cut the budget; his own crew goes on strike; his personal life is in shambles; and to make things worse, his lead actor Alain (Jonathan Cohen) is an egocentric jerk. Joseph (Stefan Crepon), an extra who wants to get into the Film Industry, agrees to direct the Making Of and shoot the behind-the-scenes. He takes his role very seriously and starts following around the crew, capturing all this mess… What follows is proof that the Making Of can sometimes be far better than the film itself !

“Kahn explores contradictions [through] wry irony … A droll social comedy that interrogates the cost and chaos of the creative process.”

Wendy Ide, Screen International
