Edge of Seventeen (for which Stephens wrote the screenplay), as well as his 2001 directorial debut
Gypsy 83 and 2006 s over-the-top comedy
Another Gay Movie.

Just when I start getting weary of the well-worn structure of the American Hollywood script rules â the inciting incident happens on page 10, make the hero more likeable, all these narrative procedures â French filmmaker Quentin Dupieux comes out with some wacky film that reminds me that you donât have to tell stories the same way. I can recall three times when a Dupieux joint was a much-needed breath of fresh air in the wake of too many hack American movies. You just donât see flicks like âRubberâ (sentient automobile tire turns evil), âWrongâ (the title is self-explanatory) and âDeerskinâ (a leather coat turns evil) every day.
