Keep an Eye Out serves as a solid starting point. For those already indoctrinated, it's another welcome dispatch from cinema's premier purveyor of perplexing paradoxes.

Anyone not already on board with Dupieux's brand of offbeat humor and forays into the surreal can safely ignore the title's advice.

A pretty good piece of theater of the absurd. The French are good at it. The general idea is clear: it's a parody of detective stories.
