Arnaud fait son 2e film

Arnaud Viard plays himself in this charming autobiographical comedy about the trials and tribulations of an actor-director trying to make his second film while navigating the challenges of middle age: a faltering marriage, an ailing mother, and a dwindling bank account. Whether on the psychiatrist's couch or facing a classroom full of fledgling actors, Viard finds the right balance between laughing at his own expense and eliciting our sympathy. The freshness and candor with which he tackles life's sharp edges lift this heartfelt, homemade movie to the major leagues.
