If there was ever a current director working today who should be making a film about artist Salvador Dalí, it is French writer/director Quentin Dupieux.

A charming, effervescent, and smart addition to François Ozon’s always fast-moving, fast-changing body of work.

At what point does an open marriage become problematic?

Slapstick meets The Bad Seed in Julie Delpy’s fitfully charming tale, marked by contradictory impulses and abrupt, bewildering shifts in tone.
