Dark at Noon

Dark at Noon (French: L'Œil qui ment, lit. The Eye that Lies) is a 1993 French-Portuguese fantasy comedy film directed by Chilean filmmaker Raúl Ruiz. It was entered into the 1992 Cannes Film Festival. The film portrays a surrealist world that Felicien, the protagonist played by Didier Bourdon, must navigate through as he seeks to learn what has become of his deceased father’s fortune. Described as "an elaborate Dadaist joke" by The New York Times, Ruiz’s film was intended to emulate a Monty Python-esque humor with deadpan comedic tone.
