MovieComedy
It's midnight. The hour of truth. The hour that "He" and "She" have chosen to settle their differences. While this showdown is explosive for the couple, it is irresistibly funny for the audience. In his first play, Philippe Claudel paints a jubilant picture of our society and reviews all our excesses: from the education of children to the contempt of the mother-in-law, from hypochondria in men to cosmetic surgery in women, from fake intellectuals to political hypocrisy, from sexual freedom to junk food...!
