Batman vs. Wolverine - comic book legends fight in French indie fan film

Part perfume commercial, part cod philosophy lecture, part Fight Club, part French cinema stereotype -- "You can't stop me either with wine or with oath's or the weight of the years..." -- it's entirely fascinating, if not entirely comprehensible -- what are we talking about?

And despite being shot in the weirdest aspect ratio known to man, and despite the moments of obvious shonk, it's undeniably impressive and certainly worth nine minutes of your day.

Everyone else considers it abhorrent macho stupidity.
