Original
Résumé Alone in his bathroom, a scornful, narcissistic and media-crazed ogre exposes
his rawest fantasies in a deranged dialogue with fictitious characters, all the
while imagining that hidden cameras capture and transmit his every word and
movement. It is a critical look at the twisted impact of the media on our society. Extrait « surpass yourself | be magnanimous | tremendous unbeatable | put up with their pettiness | don't bear a grudge | help them | give yourself | they love you » Revue de presse "A vitriolic fable on the media's relentless insistence on pushing
the boundaries of intimacy." Marie Labrecque, Voir, January 22, 1998 |
