Open Air | Coupez! - English subtiteld
Hilarious zombie comedy from Michel Hazanavicius (The Artist) in which the crew of a low-budget horror film get into a fight with real zombies.
In an abandoned building, a low-budget zombie horror film is falling apart on set. The abusive director is already pushing the cast and crew to the brink with his obnoxious behaviour when he reveals his plan to inject energy and excitement into the project: unlocking a real-life ancient zombie curse. In a frenetic one-shot where body parts and fluids are flying, the actors fight the undead and their director for their lives before the film comes to a shocking conclusion and the credits roll… but is that the whole story?
The Cannes film festival opened this year with this remake of the 2017 Japanese cult film ONE CUT OF THE DEAD. After THE ARTIST, Hazanavicius once again pays tribute to film making with this wacky metafictional zombie film.
