»The Second Act« tells the story of David, who would rather push his conquest Florence into the arms of his buddy Willy than end up in a serious relationship himself. Florence, on the other hand, plans to introduce David to her father right away to underline the seriousness of her intentions. The four meet at the café "Le Deuxieme Acte." Not only does this configuration create an incredibly comedic encounter, but the narrative is constantly pulled so far out of the usual conventions that the audience pieces the film together like a puzzle again and again. This year’s opening film of Cannes showcases France's Enfant Terrible Quentin Dupieux at the height of his art, breaking audience expectations, turning the rules of film storytelling upside down, and being an inexhaustible source of the wildest inspiration. A pleasure that only the modern master of dadaistic cinema, Quentin Dupieux, can provide.
