Nature morte (1978)
Overview
In a series of sketches, professional film extras come before the camera one by one to recite the text printed on the back of the resumé photos sent to film producers. If some of these presentations elicit laughter, don't blame the extras, victims of their own illusions, obliged to take part in these cheap displays. A film about the cinema and about life, Nature Morte goes beyond cruelty to create a comi-tragic human document.
