It really looked as if he was trying to undo all the credibility he gained from The Artist.

Ouch. Well, I guess that's one way to keep success in check. I'm woefully ignorant of French cinema, so all of this is news to me. Though I did say that it would be interesting to see what they do next, not to go to see what they do next. ;-) As much as I enjoyed his performance in The Artist, I don't feel any need to go back and see their James Bond spoofs.
