O Interrogatório

Completely enjoyable bizarre and surreal dry humor. If you've never seen a Quentin Dupieux movie, I think this is a great starting point. Not too weird, not too meta. I personally was first introduced to him by the film "Rubber" which I loved the idea of even though everyone I met seemed to despise it. I have since seen "Wrong", "Wrong Cops" and "Reality", all of which I greatly enjoyed.

The fact that I liked those films is integral to this review. I am a fan of his work, and I loved this one. The reviews you read will vary from first timers to people who already didn't care for the style, and so you must see where you fit.

On surface this is somewhat of a dry humored murder mystery, with a touch of surreal, but the actors in the characters are so engaging that it really doesn't matter what they're talking about. For much of the movie they're talking about things that don't matter, practically nonsense, but it's enjoyable as a whole.

If you are aware of the body of work the director has created, you probably don't need to read what I or others have to say. If you are not sure check the biography/filmography of the director. Anything familiar there? This right here may feel familiar but also almost feels "normal", especially considering this has a story that is quite coherent.

I say quite, because there are still a lot of things that are "weird" to put it mildly. You can't even begin to guess all the twists and turns, because we get treated with something unexpected from time to time. I personally love to be challenged like that. You have to know if that is your thing or not. If not, then I'd obviously advice you not to watch this. It would be a waste of time for you and a bad review for the movie obviously.

I'm not familiar with Quentin's Dupieux work, but i'm most definitly going to correct that ! It is burlesque as one would hope, the work of the DOP is great and really imersive. The casting is perfect, all in all a great achievement.

Definitely a fan of Quentin's ever since I saw Rubber. But I don't know French, and my eyes are getting old and hard to see subtitles now. And that's the BIGGEST problem with this movie, is that the majority takes place in this very bright police office. Much of the white subtitles are washed out by light, white paper on desks, white shirts. VERY hard for me to keep up with and understand whatever was going on. If there were slightly yellow or greyed subtitles, or placed on the ratio bars with a slight change to aspect ratio - or dare I say a 'English dub' version, I think this movie would be a lot better enjoyed and appreciated. As it stands now for us anglophones, it's more a mysterious mystery than a twisted comedy.

Wanna be really really confused while watching a comedy, then you gotta see a Quentin Dupieux movie. Just to inform you how weird all of his movies are, he made another movie about a car tire. Yes, you read that right, an entire movie about a car tire, that started a life on it's own, because that car tire started to kill people. Weird enough for you?

This movie is one of the least weirdest movies Quentin Dupieux has made though, but I GUARANTEE you, that you will be freaked out at some point anyway, because his stories are uniquely weird and bizar.

Oh, you still wanna know what this story is about? It starts out as a simple inquiry at a police station about a dead man found on the doorstep of someone's house. Things go off into all sorts of weird AND funny directions after that seemingly innocent start...

Any bad? Well, the reason I only award it with 7 stars is because of the fact that being a weird picture isnt enough to keep me interested for 90 minutes. Any comedy, however weird, for me personally, also HAS to be true to life in some kind of way. This movie isnt and therefore I will only award it with 7 stars.

But if you are dumbfounded and delighted by this movie then please do check out some of the unique other Quentin Dupieux movies though, because this director WILL CONFUSE YOU in ways you have never experienced before... I am not kiddin'...
