Dans un monde atemporel, Raoul débarque en ville, entre dans un cinéma et rencontre Rosa. Ensemble, ils décident de faire un film. Mais Bob Daniels, puissant industriel contrôle la ville et veille à la sauvegarde de ses intérêts. Les Japonais se réarment, les révolutionnaires agissent et les vidéomaniaques surveillent. De la ville à la campagne, au gré de leurs rencontres, le couple va être soumis à de grandes décisions à travers leurs péripéties.
Avec un style visuel faisant écho au Film Noir américain et à la Nouvelle Vague, on s’amuse avec le cinéma et réfléchit sur celui-ci. Prétexte à un ensemble de clins d’œil et d’anecdotes stylistiques, Maudit Soit le Jour joue de façon troublante avec les attentes et les préjugés du spectateur. Dans son absurdité et sa simplicité, le message, c’est le médium.

In a timeless world, Raoul enters the city, goes to a cinema and meets Rosa. Together they decide to make a movie. But Bob Daniels, a powerful industrialist, has taken control of the city and is keen on protecting his interests. The Japanese arrive and rearm, the revolutionaries act and videomaniacs are deployed by Daniels to keep people under surveillance. From the city to the countryside, encounter after encounter, the couple will be subjected to monumental decisions that will determine the fate of their relationship and the future of cinema.
With a visual style reminiscent of both American Film Noir and the French Nouvelle Vague, the audience is introduced in a playful manner to the world of cinema that reflects upon itself. Many references both literal and indirect abound with the use of stylistic anecdotes, historical references, and contemporary issues. Cursed be the Day plays with the spectator’s expectations and pre-conceived ideas. Through its absurdity and simplicity the message is the medium.
