C’est l’histoire d’un gars à qui soudain tout le monde s’intéresse: on le montre du doigt dans le métro, on le poursuit dans la rue, on lui quémande des autographes. Et lui, ne sait absolument pas ce qu’on lui veut. Il n’a rien fait de spécial, il est le prototype du mec banal, au physique passe-partout, sans histoire, quelqu’un qui ne devrait passionner personne en dehors de quelques amis, collègues, frères, sœurs et cousins, cercle qu’on découvre très réduit. Et pourtant, sans aucune raison, Martin Kazinski est happé par un tourbillon médiatique qui fera de lui une star, une bête curieuse, puis un paria.

Comment
Add a CommentBased on the 2004 novel L'Idole, this Kafka-esque film follows the sudden celebrity and equally rapid downfall of a nobody. The plot is a bit disjointed so the real reason behind it all is implied but not clearly stated. The premise of instant fame is even more plausible today unfortunately. One scene with nudity. Unless you hated this film, you might also like Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind.
So this guy is famous and he doesn't know why. Nobody tells him. There's a general sense of urgency to the soundtrack, yet nothing happens. That's the movie. If there's a point to the movie it could have been done better.
Don't waste your time.
Pretentious, simplistic and very repetitive (think the scream scene as one of many examples). Too bad, seemed like a solid take on 'The Truman Show' but failed terribly for me. Mais j'avoue, Kad Merad etait tres bien dans le role, il faut lui donner ca.
Worth watching. Intelligent and different.
This is a real sleeper. Boring at times but worth it for the profound messages about the present state of world thinking and mass consciousness.
