Overview

George Abitbol, the classiest man in the world, dies tragically during a cruise. The director of an American newspaper, wondering about the meaning of these intriguing final words, asks his three best investigators, Dave, Peter and Steven, to solve the mystery. (Sixteen French actors dub scenes from various Warner Bros. films to create a parody of Citizen Kane, 1941.)

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A deliriously clever collage of Warner Bros. films redubbed by French actors into a fake Citizen Kane parody, where the mystery of a "classiest man" becomes an excuse for anarchic visual and verbal comedy that celebrates the pleasure of cinema itself.
