There's is no real plot,but a succession of mini-sketches , most of them excellent ,riotously funny , full of black humor, cynicism, irony ...a few are disposable ,but it is to the best moments any fair review must address; the absurdity of our world indeed!An advertisement is filmed,during which a farmer is supposed to praise the virtues of a brand of dog food ;Jean Carmet is true to form.Food ads are broadcast on TV ,and while a couple is having dinner,pictures of starving children are shown : much to viewer's surprise , the TV viewers are Claude Chabrol and his wife Stephane Audran ! Who appear again later ,when the far right wing takes over the government : "kitchen!" the director yells out ,as his wife is bringing a tray.A desperate woman lies down on a rallroad track and waits for the train;but she has forgotten to consult the train times .....A playboy leaves a blonde for a brunette ; the former' s revenge will be ruthless, using the NYC speaking timeA teacher is reading a pupil's essay : the boy tells about the death of his mother;but the man blames him for his grammar mistakes....An one-eyed woman is ridiculed by everyone ;both her mother and she go to Lourdes ,expecting a miracle .....which happens in a very special way.....Tens of persons disappear ,led by their dogs ; no explanation is found.A woman dies in a car crash and tells the people who have attended the accident about the hereafter.A journalist has the execution of a fallen African leader brought forward to get the scoop; the newspapers sing the praises of the young reporter who has tried to save the unfortunate condemned person.And as if it were not enough,Christ is back on Earth.And it's only a sample of about thirty short scenes , played by many famous French actors ; it's drastically different from the French cinema of the eighties; exactly the kind of movie you do not expect much from ,and which grabs you till the very end.
