Adèle Exarchopoulos for Quentin Dupieux in “L’Accident de Piano” (The Piano Accident)

Quentin Dupieux, master of surrealist cinema, is about to start shooting his fourteenth feature film, “L’Accident de Piano”. Starring Adèle Exarchopoulos, this new comedy promises an unprecedented exploration of the absurd and the offbeat.

A new collaboration with Adèle Exarchopoulos

After “Mandibules” and “Fumer fait couser”, Adèle Exarchopoulos reunites with Quentin Dupieux in a lead role that promises to be as strange as it is exhilarating. This third collaboration marks a turning point for the actress, who swaps the dramatic register for a surrealistic comedy. She’ll play a central character who’s still a mystery, but who’s tailor-made for the director’s zany universe.

Adèle Exarchopoulos, already hailed for her comic potential in “Mandibules”, continues to explore the facets of her talent under Dupieux’s direction. Her performance in scenes as crazy as a lesson in good manners and an absurd death left a lasting impression. With “L’Accident de Piano”, she plunges once again into the offbeat universe of this prolific filmmaker.

Shooting scheduled for January 2025

Shooting of “L’Accident de Piano” will begin in January 2025 in the Var region of France. True to his style, Quentin Dupieux has already launched an atypical casting for roles ranging from waiters to ambulance drivers. This detail alone hints at a plot where the absurd rubs shoulders with the everyday, a signature well known to the director.
