Need a fast recap before watching? Here's the plot: "If there is one person Matthew Lancit can’t get out of his mind, it is his uncle Harvey.

He translates the feared body horror into film, stages himself as a zombie, vampire, a desolate figure. Lancit playfully anticipates his potential decline, serving up a whole arsenal of effects which – as video recordings prove – go back to his youth. It is not for nothing that the “dead” in the title is also reminiscent of “dad.” Because “Play Dead!” also negotiates his own role as a father."
