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
