It is an homage to 1960s Italian spy/sci-fi spoofs like "Barbarella" and "" and the documentary spoof "David Holzman's Diary".

The film features an original soundtrack by French electronic band Mellow, which was released on Emperor Norton Records.

"CQ" was released by MGM.

Plot

Set in Paris in 1969, young film editor Paul Ballard (Jeremy Davies) is currently working on a science-fiction, action-adventure film called "Dragonfly", written and directed by renowned director Andrezej (Gérard Depardieu). Andrezej is utterly infatuated with his film's star, Valentine (Angela Lindvall), a young American whom he discovered at a political rally some time ago. While working on the film, Paul, an aspiring filmmaker himself, regularly borrows cameras and other equipment from work in order to film his own project: a documentary of Paul's own self-reflections.
