Yannick is a 2023 French black comedy film written, shot, edited and directed by Quentin Dupieux. The film stars Raphaël Quenard as a heckler who takes a Parisian theatre hostage and rewrites the play under his own direction. The production of the film was kept secret until a month before its theatrical release on 2 August 2023 by Diaphana Distribution. It screened in the international competition at the Locarno Film Festival the next day. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
