Cadavre Exquis première édition is a 2006 Canadian French language film. The film is a collective project based on the principle of the Exquisite corpse parlour game. The original screen play was written by Adrien Lorion, David Étienne and Michel Laroche and eleven directors participated in the making of the film, each of them making their debut.
Plot
Roxy, a glam-rock star past his prime who has just made a pact with the Devil, goes through much emotional gear shifting when a dozen different writers and directors take control of his destiny and rewrite his life story as they see fit. In his predestined life, Roxy meets a vide variety of colourful characters: women he once loved but has trouble recognizing today; a crooked dealer who keeps leading him astray; a drag queen on the rebound; a failed playwright; a woman barkeep who's interested in Roxy; and, of course, Mephistopheles in all his disguises.
