The writer participated in a film by the collective KIRAC (Keeping It Real Art Critics). A trailer unveiled last week unleashes passions.

Michel Houellebecq returns to the front of the stage. On March 11, the French writer will headline KIRAC 27, a pornographic film produced by the Dutch collective KIRAC (Keeping It Real Art Critics). A trailer uploaded last week has garnered a lot of reactions on social media.

The video features the writer as his planned honeymoon in Morocco has just been canceled. “People were afraid that he would be kidnapped by Muslim extremists,” explains director Stefan Ruitenbeek in voiceover.

“His wife had spent a month arranging prostitutes in advance and now everything was falling apart,” the narrator continues.

Stefan Ruitenbeek, who then corresponded by email with Michel Houellebecq, indicated that he had offered to go to Amsterdam, where he knew “lots of girls” who “would sleep with the famous writer out of curiosity”.

“I would arrange the hotel for him if I had permission to film everything,” he says.

Controversial videos

It is not known if it is a fiction or a documentary. Michel Houellebecq himself has played several times in films on the border of the two genres, such as Thalassotherapy (2019). KIRAC is also known “for its controversial videos” whose ambition is “the quest for love, in the form of truth”.

Michel Houellebecq has occupied the media space for a few weeks because of the polemical remarks made with regard to Muslims in the review Popular Front. In an interview with the philosopher Michel Onfray, the novelist presents Muslims as a threat to the security of non-Muslim French people.

The Union of French Mosques (UMF) filed a complaint last Friday against the writer for “provoking discrimination, hatred or violence”. The complaint also targets the director of the popular Front magazine Stéphane Simon and the philosopher Michel Onfray.
