Direction

Baffie directed himself losing keys. Bold narcissism.

Best for:Background: Put on while folding laundry; you'll miss nothing.·Friends: Only if someone owes you a favor.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Trivia

Guillaume Canet's 'refusal' to film with Baffie is the film's most honest moment.

Cultural

This epitomizes 2000s French 'comédie de potache'—lowbrow, self-indulgent, inexplicably star-studded.
