The black-and-white film showing at the end The grandmother called it "La Chouffe" But I've searched and Googled until I couldn't google anymore. I can't seem to find this film. Does it even exist? I haven't been this disappointed since Woody Allen's "Interiors" Where they were all sitting around the table talking about a play that I found out never really exhausted. Call me crazy but I love How avant-garde Stuff like this that's why I was wondering if it even existed

I read your post and I thought I could possibly help you find "La Chouffe" because I live in France and I also love avant-garde films. I rewatched the episode and I noticed that (1) not only did the actor in the movie clip on the show have a very strong accent when speaking French, but (2)the word "la chouffe" doesn't even exist in French. I'm sorry to tell you but it appears to have been made up just for the show. I guess they did a really great of lampooning classic French cinema :)
