- Synopsis:
The opening night selection of last year's Cannes Film Festival was this wacky horror comedy, a remake of Shin'ichirô Ueda's cult hit 'One Cut of the Dead'. It follows a director (Romain Duris, L'Auberge Espagnole) making a live, single-take, low-budget zombie flick in which the cast and crew, one by one, actually turn into zombies. Oscar winner Michel Hazanavicius (The Artist) milks the film's hilarious and meta-to-the-max premise for all it's worth, while also crafting a sly love letter to the art of filmmaking. What's on screen unfolds in typical cheesy B-movie fashion, while the off-screen hijinks offer a celebration of the unpredictable and collaborative nature of film sets. Featuring a hysterically unhinged turn by Oscar nominee Berenice Bejo (The Artist) and serving up blood-soaked high farce par excellence, Final Cut revels in its affectionate embrace of goofy genre fun. - Actors:

Tricksy, annoying, postmodern French remake of Japanese movie, a film in a film in a film etc. - Final Cut review by PV
I have just found out this is a remake of a Japanese film which i shall now watch.
It is postmodern cinema and in that VERy French - could be Derrida of Foucault at work! The direct us a fan of Jean-Luc Goddard, so makes sense.
me I find it all way too tricksy and contrived for my tastes. All this film in a film in a film tricksy stuff.
Beware viewers - the first half hour is worth sticking with as all will become clear later. I almost turned off after 25 minutes and am glad I did not.
I found it all deeply annoying rather than enjoyable or even clever, like all postmodern jiggerypokery then!
French-British actor Finnegan Oldfield (Brit dad, from Lewes) shines in this so will search out his other films.
BUT in general, this is a curiosity piece. 2 stars
Watch TROPIC THUNDER instead, the best and funniest film in a film like this.
