And as part of our festival’s traditional closing gala, to be held on October 31, the Viennale will screen the French film YANNICK by Quentin Dupieux.
A moderately interesting chamber play is being performed at the theater. All of a sudden, Yannick erupts from his seat in the audience, and his wild anger about the abominable play and the ensemble breaks through. What follows is a racy and witty eulogy about the sense and nonsense of (petty) bourgeois cultural enjoyment. (...)
A film like a peppery praline: full-bodied, compact, and insanely good!
“Quentin Dupieux is a filmmaker who manages, as few do, to interrogate the inconsistencies and contradictions of a system, always in a surprising, witty and funny way,” says Eva Sangiorgi. “And what could be more fitting than to close the festival with acumen, self-criticism, and humor?”
In addition to the screening at the closing gala at Gartenbaukino, YANNICK will also be shown at the Stadtkino im Künstlerhaus, Metro Kinokulturhaus, and Urania theaters.
