<
< PL: What is going on here?!?  French director, Michel Blanc (as Himself),
< PL: just doesn't understand why his life is suddenly falling apart.  This
< PL: nightmarish comedy-thriller is all about identity.  What defines a
< PL: famous person?  Is it their public self or their private self?  What is
< PL: the public's legitimate claim on their fame?  With the glitterati of
< PL: French Cinema starring as themselves, the anonymous faces in the
< PL: audience gain a glimpse into the downside of public recognition.

< PL: interactions with her abusive husband, demanding father, and meek
< PL: paramour.  This housewife, who initially appears outwardly

< PL: landscape of the mind which is twisted and scarred.  Techniques
< PL: of German Expressionist cinema gradually give us insight into
< PL: her psyche.  Why does she write letter after letter to herself,
< PL: stashing them in a living room cabinet?  Secret after secret is
< PL: gradually revealed, until the chilling and disturbing conclusion.

< PL: suggestion of romance or impropriety in his own and others'
