Cadavre exquis première édition is a fascinating exploration of identity and the nature of creativity. Roxy, our glam-rock protagonist, is caught in this whirlwind where various writers and directors step in to shape his life. The shifting tones keep you on your toes, and the performances, although from a less-known ensemble, have this raw grit that adds to the atmosphere. The practical effects are minimal but effective, emphasizing emotional rather than visual spectacle. The film has this dreamlike quality, almost surreal, which makes you question the boundaries of storytelling itself. It’s definitely not your typical drama, more like a series of intriguing vignettes that delve deep into existential themes, particularly the struggle between free will and destiny.
