Monkey Dust: Pretentious French Cinema

Monkey Dust is a dark and satirical animated British TV program that ran on the BBC for 3 seasons. It is an acquired taste, but as far as I'm concerned it is the best TV ever made. This clip shows the filming of a French movie and takes a swipe at the pretentious nature of "arty" movies.

I like french films :D Well, at least really late at night, they're relaxing with the lack of music n stuff

[malangsob]

The music is very "Dark Side of the Moon".

[messthetics]

@TheChristChris sounds almost like Cocteau twins

[TheChristChris]

What is the shoegaze-y sounding music in the background?

@ZemplinTemplar That's what satire is, you moron.

I think Diva by Jean-Jacques Beiniex is the inspiration for this.

Wonderful, stylish movie. Very meaningful - when Alba leans over you can almost see her breasts.

the irony is Monkey Dust is more artistically profound than almost any film ive ever seen. That and its bloody funny.
