Olivier Maltinti

A French man recalls his moviegoing adventures at a now defunct titular theater as a journalist for the film magazine Cahiers du Cinéma during the mid-1950s.

Whilst seeking out locations in the South of France for his next film, director Luc Moullet comes across a male corpse. He immediately decides to use this to his advantage. By swapping his passport with that of the dead man, Moullet hopes that the world will believe he is dead, thereby ensuring a renewed interest in his work. Unfortunately, the scheme backfires, since the dead man was someone rather important...

Inspired by the subject and by his wife's own phobia, Luc Moullet approaches this often-feared insect through the unique prisms of religion and sexuality in a daring essay.

Two young girls find out, in the hard way, that climb mountains isn't all that fun that people often say it is.
