Invitation to Albert Dupontel

Actor, director and screenwriter Albert Dupontel deploys his talent with a very particular mastery of the absurd and the grotesque. As an actor, he plays his roles with singularity; as a director, he sets out to create a whole plethora of characters, each more delectable and complex than the next, from Bernie to See You Up There to 9-Month Stretch. This year marks the release of his new film, Bye Bye Morons.
