Increíble pero cierto

If you have watched other Quentin's Dupieux movies, you know what to expect. This is another comedy/drama/fantasy movie, surreal, bizarre, funny and weird. His movies are like a Parallel World, it's looking like ours, but it's not.

This movie is more coherent than his previous ones, there are some understandable messages here. It's a satire of modern way of living/of our shallow ambitions. Viewer gets what Dupieux try to say. Vanity is an unseen enemy of our happiness.

This is a better movie than Le daim (2019), better than WRONG (2012), a little bit worse than REALITY (2014).

I can't rate it higher because it didn't amaze me. It's clever, not brilliant. Enjoyable, not exciting. You will not think about this movie after you watch it, just like almost every other movie of him. In any case, if you haven't heard of this director, and you find it interesting as it was described, watch it.

Little art stub from increible france, so believe it or not...

its easy to spoil the fun due to its compressed idea and small cast, that doesnt fail much, what i strive most of all with is the urge of 70's and 80's feeling that i had but they say its 2021 in the story. Another issue is the somehow bleach like imaging of the world, just like the film where dried in the sun for speeding up purposes.

But its a film about a house, sex, rejuvination, man-holes, electronic dicks, instability , bad apples and ants. What amaze me most is that i wouldve betted my roins to japan and back if i ever bought a house like the story tells about.

So a witty presentation for us old and gregarious, there are only one truth in life except being born and that is to die, so believe it or not, a small recommend from the grumpy old man.

Predictable, super vulgar, old comedic effects, caricatures here we come. Seriously what happened to Dupieux. The image is disgusting, acting is off besides tertiary roles and Anaïs Demoustier. Luckily it was 70 minutes.

Starting with as implausible a premiss as "Mandibles", this follows what logic there is into (in my mind) an interesting set of conclusions. Indeed, there are two separate ridiculous bases to the plot, both of which cause serious implications for the core characters as they follow their dreams and fantasies to unfortunate (or at least disappointing) ends.

There are lots of lovely comic touches throughout and appropriate awkwardness, particularly as the wife's self-image as a supermodel is gradually punctured.

I'm guessing that the core theme is that being happy with one's lot is not necessarily a "failure" and change isn't always for the good - but having this message wrapped up in such bonkers packaging is quite fun, and I'm glad that Quentin is out there doing "not normal" stuff like this alongside more generic fare.

Worth a look.

The myth of eternal youth as seen by Quentin Dupieux. Original and quite funny, and also a little sad since eternal youth is a myth. With excellent performers, in particular Alain Chabat, Lea Drucker, Benoît Magimel and Anaïs Demoustier.
