Part film, part theater, part reality television… Phoenix Atala’s Season 1 episode 2 examines its own production process step by step, as it is being created in front of the audience. The hilarious and thoughtful work questions the concepts of mass media, Big Brother, and the boundaries of reality and fiction—while offering a delightful critique of social norms and structures.
Known to New York audiences for his work with French performance group Grand Magasin, Phoenix Atala is a renoun and critically acclaimed theatrical director in Europe who tries his hand at cinema.
For this production the cast, a mix of french celebrities and amateurs, obsessively describe what’s happening on the screen.
The movie is an eye opening revelation for who is new to the mechanism behind cinema production, and an entertaining witty and playful UFO for who works in the industry.
