I finished and boosted the editing of this motion picture that was produced by my friend Eric Bassoff, with whom I share a similar taste for caustic humour: when working on fast-paced progressions, jokes are often needed for the visual rethoric. We structured the funniest ones at the end, so to obscure these ones might be misogynist, homophobic or racist. The best reviews appeared in “Libération”, the parisian newspaper which decribed that Dikkenek as a “punk comedy”.

This was my second collaboration with producer Yann Gilbert, and my first with his wife Catherine Castel. They invited me on the shooting on the Island of Réunion, an ideal place to share the everyday life of the crew and actors. I’ll never forget my moments spent with Olivier Marchal, a former cop who nowadays is a talented director and actor.
