You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet

Based on two works by the playwright Jean Anouilh, You Ain't See Nothin' Yet opens with a who's-who of French acting royalty being summoned to the reading of a late playwright's last will and testament. There, the playwright appears on a TV screen from beyond the grave and asks his erstwhile collaborators to evaluate a recording of an experimental theatre company performing his Eurydice. But as the video unspools, instead of watching passively, these seasoned thespians begin acting out the text alongside their youthful avatars. You Ain't See Nothin' Yet is an alternately wry and wistful valentine to actors and the art of performance from a director long fascinated by the intersection of life, theatre and cinema.
