La Cité De La Peur
( "The City of Fear"), also known as ("The Les Nuls Movie"), is a 1994 French comedy film written by and starring Chantal Lauby, Alain Chabat and Dominique Farrugia of the comedy group Les Nuls, and directed by Alain Berbérian in 1994. The movie parodies big budget American films (''Basic Instinct'', '' Pretty Woman'' and '' The Terminator'', among others, are directly spoofed) and relies heavily on puns and word play, which makes it somewhat inaccessible for non native French speakers. Synopsis Odile Deray ( Lauby) is the publicist for the slasher movie ''Red is Dead'', which features a serial killer whose weapons of choice are the hammer and sickle. She is invited to the Cannes film festival, where she is faced with the unanimous opinion that the movie is extremely bad. However, ''Red is Dead'' soon attracts the public attention when its projectionist is murdered by what seems to be a copycat of the movie's killer. Ecstatic, Odile brings the movie's intellectually disable ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
