- Synopsis:
- An astonishing ensemble cast, which includes such legends as Jean-Paul Belmondo (Stavisky...), Alain Delon (Diabolically Yours), and Maria Schneider (The Passenger), populates 'Les Acteurs', a surreal comedy from provocative director Bertrand Blier (Femmes fatales). A group of legendary French actors, playing exaggerated versions of themselves, discuss the intricacies of their craft and become involved in a series of bizarre adventures when the distinction between real life and artistic representation gets increasingly blurred. Filled with allusions to many classics of French cinema, 'Les Acteurs' is a playful, reflexive delight for lovers of cinema history and film craft.
