La Bostella

Taking its title from a popular 1960s dance craze, this digital video comedy concerns the exploits of a particularly odd fictional talk-show host, portrayed by real-life French talk-show sensation Edouard Baer. Baer — who also directed and co-wrote the film — plays a sarcastic TV personality who decides to gather together the panel members from his live show before they shoot the program so that they have a chance to rehearse. To this end, the absurd group — including a lawyer, a transvestite, and a grown woman who acts like a child — rents a villa for a month. It doesn’t take long for resentment to fester among the motley crew.
