Les Frères Soeur (2000)
Directed by Frédéric Jardin

Comedy
aka: The Sister Brothers

Film Synopsis

The Soeur brothers may not have invented cinema, but that doesn't mean they can't have a go at re-inventing it.  Unfortunately, they have concocted a script that no one will touch with a bargepole - one that is thicker than Tolstoy's War and Peace, more convoluted than Proust's À la recherche du temps perdu, and only slightly less coherent than a Dadaist manifesto.  Yet they persist, gate-crashing parties where they have no place to be in the hope of finding a kindly backer.  In the end they have no choice but to resort to skulduggery - blackmailing a producer and kidnapping a scriptwriter.  The Soeur brothers are a pair of undiscovered geniuses, and it looks as if they will stay that way...
