The latest from the prolific French director, also starring Vincent Lindon, Louis Garrel and Raphaël Quenard, is a movie-within-a-movie about making movies.

With 13 features made since 2007, and six in the past four years, French DJ-turned-director Quentin Dupieux is clearly no slacker. Not only has he helmed all these films — he’s also written, shot and edited them, as well as composed many of their scores., Dupieux has had an impressively prolific run, gradually improving with each new movie while honing a style and tone that are completely his own.

They all eventually meet up at a roadside restaurant called The Second Act, where they argue some more, oscillating between their characters in the movie being made and the actors they play in the movie about the movie being made. At some point, a nervous waiter steps in to serve them wine, and his inability to pour out a glass without spilling it all over the place becomes another gag that soon turns horrifically sour.
