Writer/director’s Samuel Benchetrit’s film has been compared structurally with Pulp Fiction (1994), thanks to its multi-vignette format, but in fact it is the ’slacker’ mood of Kevin Smith’s marvellous Clerks (1994) that informs the large part of the narrative.

Clerks (1994)

In an effort to be absolutely bang up-to-date here on Picturenose, I thought it would be a good idea to review a movie I managed to miss for a good 14 years. I don’t think it necessarily matters, though. You could see it for the first time tomorrow and it would be certain to entertain you in some way. While certain topics are hardly current (the quite delicious discussion of The Return of the Jedi (1983) for example), the dialogue really is the selling point for this ultra-low budget affair, which cost only around $54,000 to produce.
