CGiii Comment

An existential French comedy - it's an overly-wordy feast for the pseudo.

If you are not a pseudo...then, you'll want to blow your brains out within the first 10 minutes.

The(ir) Blurb...

Basile Matin has a bizarre dream. He dreams that tonight could be his last night. In order to triumph over mortality, he decides never to sleep again. A completely absurd story which breaks all the rules and repeatedly oversteps the border between reality and fantasy. If there is any at all.
