Directed by Louis Haffreingue, Alexandre Lalevee
Tones: absurdist, darkly comic, theatrical
Jeanne, a sensible young actress, finds herself stuck before three colourful casting directors who venerate one colour above all: pink — but not just any pink, the ultimate Rose.

The scouts
A two-minute absurdist ambush that turns casting-room desperation into a colour cult — the premise alone is the kind of "wait, WHAT?" that makes consensus scouts squirm, and Haffreingue and Lalevee commit to the bit so hard it becomes genuinely unhinged.
The theatrical staging and chromatic obsession position this neatly within a lineage of Feydeau-inflected satire, though the brevity and tonal precision suggest a confidence in restraint over the usual machinery of farce.
The decision to make the three casting directors' veneration of pink genuinely unsettling rather than just cute — that tonal specificity, the way the absurdity curddles into something almost threatening in two minutes — is what transforms a one-liner premise into something worth watching twice.
