The Brand New Testament Le tout nouveau testament
This Golden Globe nominated comedy begins with one simple conceit: God exists, and He's a jerk. He lives in a high-rise apartment in Brussels and never gets out of His pajamas. He takes sadistic delight in dreaming up new "laws" to torment humanity, and He's a petty tyrant to his wife and ten year-old daughter, Ea.
Like her brother before her, Ea has had enough of her Father's abuse and when she spies the right opportunity, she hacks into His computer and leaks to the entire world--by text message--the only thing He has over them: their inevitable death date.
Nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Foreign Language Film. Official Selection at the Cannes Film Festival.

Delightful! You should have stuck with it, MI. Not dark at all!
Too dark.... can't finish it.
Wonderful. I recall being charmed by Van Dormael's "Toto the Hero" 25 years ago. Glad to see he's still at it. Deneuve and shades of "Max Mon Amour"! Yikes!
