A movie-in-a-movie movie that loves movies

Of course, the movie-within-a-movie is a >fun spoof of gore movies with nods to "The Evil Dead", but >obviously done with great respect for the genre. A few baroque >characters (a "madwoman" considered as a witch, a schizophrenic >clowness) gives a poetic touch to the whole proceeding while the >crew runs the whole gamut from love to hate. There are some very >funny one-liners and, basically, this as a whole is a nice, >refreshing experience. It came out the same day as "The Phantom >Menace"

French-language cinema, whether in France, Québec, or other Francophone regions, explores cultural identity, social change, and the tension between the individual and society.
