Synopsis
Making Of (2024) is a French-Belgian tragicomedy from Cédric Kahn, and you can watch it online on iFILM. Director Simon sets out to make a serious drama about workers fighting to save their factory. The catch: his own set collapses faster than any factory ever could.
His producer wants the ending rewritten and the budget slashed. The crew walks out on strike. His leading man is an insufferable egomaniac. His marriage is in pieces. Meanwhile Joseph, an extra desperate to break into movies, agrees to shoot the behind-the-scenes — and trails everyone with a camera, catching every bit of the mess. Denis Podalydès plays the director on the edge, Jonathan Cohen the impossible star, and the film about a failing film turns out to be more alive than the thing itself.
Kahn, a veteran of countless sets, delivers a sharp, funny look under the hood of the trade — no fairy tales about the magic of cinema. Best for anyone who loves films about filmmaking and a dose of French irony. Stream Making Of (2024) online on iFILM.
