Au poste! (2018)


 

Police officers at a station must solve a murder case.

Madcap, nearly surrealist comedy surprises with swift absurd twists and is sometimes hilariously funny, but sometimes a bit irritating as well.

Mon pire cauchemar (2011)



After two guys become best friends, one's mom -- a prim, proper career woman -- meets the other's dad, who lives out of his van.

Modern-day screwball comedy is more satirical than humorous; against all odds, Isabelle Huppert and Benoît Poelvoorde make it work.

Le tout nouveau testament (2015)



God lives in human form as a cynical writer with his young opinionated daughter in present-day Brussels, Belgium, but she concludes that her dad is doing a terrible job and decides to rewrite the world, which leaves God angry, powerless and adamant to get his power back.

Idiosyncratic and superficially blasphemous satire presents a fantastical parable which works on several levels and manages to entertain and endear at the same time.
