The Second Act Le deuxième acte

Quentin Dupieux / France / 2024 / 80 min / French

Quentin Dupieux (Daaaaaalí!) returns behind the camera with a provocative, absurdist yet hilarious love letter to terrible films and bad actors facing their characters and their lines. This is farcical, surrealistic cinema that only he is capable of – with a message, if not many – and starring his most A-list cast yet. Opening film of this year’s Cannes Film Festival.

cast Léa Seydoux, Vincent Lindon, Louis Garrel, Raphaël Quenard, Manuel Guillot

Mihrije, Sina, and Jasna are best friends in their early twenties. Because of their boyish lifestyle, they often clash with their conservative surroundings. When they meet a transgender woman named Fantasy, a new world opens up to them… In her feature debut, young Slovenian director Kukla asks: “Who am I when there is no one left to define me?” The film won the award for Best Ensemble Cast at the Sarajevo Film Festival.

On 12 September 1919, a troop of some three hundred soldiers under the leadership of the flamboyant war-loving Italian poet Gabriele D’Annunzio swooped into the Northern-Adriatic port town of Fiume, now Rijeka, wanting to annex the city to Italy. Over the course of the next 16 months, during what is regarded as one of the most bizarre militant sieges of all time his official photography team captured over 10,000 images. A century later, Igor Bezinović orchestrates a direct-action history lesson focused on the siege and its modern-day implications.
