What a Flash

The producers of this French film took approximately 100 people put them on a soundstage and had them improvise this film based on the premise that they are on a spaceship escaping from the dictators of earth and only have a few days to live Improvisation is a dangerous artform unprepared amateurs invariably come up with gross caricatures when challenged to improvise The actors choices in this film include an allegorical pageant of the life of Jesus a marriage an orgy and some genuinely affectionate moments Nonetheless as an experimental effort in largegroup improvisation the film is instructive Clarke Fountain Rovi
