Play It Like Godard

2012 · 75 min

A breezy, deadpan French comedy that gently mocks film-world pretension while following an oddly over-accomplished teen through school.

Overview: Jean-Christophe Kern, known as JC, is not a teenager like any other: he won the Palme d’Or at the age of 15, the Cesar at 16. This year, he is trying to graduate from high school.
How it feels: Satirical, light, whimsical and cynical. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Celebrity, coming-of-age, art, identity
Content: Mild sexual content and language. No violence or gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
