THE PIANO ACCIDENT (französische OmeU) // Fantasy Filmfest // FEAR GOOD AWARD // Director's Spotlight
In the organizer's words:
THE PIANO ACCIDENT - Director's Spotlight - FEAR GOOD AWARD
Magalie aka Megajugs is an internet phenomenon with cult status. Born the day the internet went live, she grew up with digicams and a lack of "don't try this at home" warnings. With shocking content and a stubborn outsider image, she catapulted herself to the top of the digital world. Interviews? Not a chance. Closeness? Unthinkable. But after a mysterious piano accident during a video shoot, she retreats to a remote chalet in the snowy mountains with her personal assistant Patrick, physically battered but unimpressed. It's not just two weird fans who soon disturb her toxic togetherness with Patrick; a persistent journalist also gets in touch by email. And unlike others, she won't simply be brushed off with money. Magalie reluctantly agrees to a conversation, but the closer someone gets to her, the more things get out of hand.
THE PIANO ACCIDENT is a grotesque media satire, revealing and a bitter commentary on our present day, somewhere between AMERICAN PSYCHO and SICK OF MYSELF. Director Quentin Dupieux remains true to his line: direction, screenplay, camera, music, all from one source, all crazy. After murderous tires, talking leather jackets and mutated flies, now an influencer who strives for self-destruction. The pain is real. Maybe. And blood is guaranteed.

THE PIANO ACCIDENT is a grotesque media satire and a bitterly evil commentary on today's society, positioning itself somewhere between AMERICAN PSYCHO and SICK OF MYSELF. Director Quentin Dupieux stays true to his style: directing, writing, cinematography, and music, all from one source, all completely crazy. After murderous tires, talking leather jackets, and mutant flies, now we have an influencer who strives for self-destruction. The pain is real. Maybe. And there's definitely no shortage of blood.
