Our article aims to analyze the essayistic and philosophical posture of Bruno Dumont, through the study of his latest series in four episodes, CoinCoin and Z'inhumains, broadcast in September 2018 by the French channel ARTE. Our questioning about the philosophical scope of CoinCoin et les z’inhumains leaded us to compare the reflexive approach chosen by the director to awaken the spectator to the act of throwing a cream pie. With the help of irony, laughter, carnival characters and burlesque, which are the ingredients of this pie, the viewer's senses sober up and push him or her to raise his or her head to look up.
