Moullet's brilliant, sarcastic first feature stands as the finest period document of French cinephilia, and features cameos by Samuel Fuller, Claude Chabrol, André Téchiné and Eric Rohmer. Two identically-named young students meet just after moving to Paris. Over the course of the film they discover the city, rate its monuments, look for an apartment, eat at a restaurant, visit the country, and become involved in a wide variety of moviegoing-related shenanigans.
