With a breezy runtime of 80 minutes, is such a short film worth your time? Absolutely! What's it all about? Well it's bonkers. It's a French film from writer/director Quentin Dupieux. His film "
Mandibles" was the first film I remember seeing at the reopening of the Bytowne Theatre during the COVID pandemic. I loved "
Mandibles." This time around, Dupieux has created a series of short stories, strung together with the help of Power-Rangers-looking like super heroes known as The Tobacco Force. These heroes, (after battling a giant rubber turtle and exploding it by giving it cancer - yes, this is the dark and twisted mind of Dupieux, and I love it) are sent on a retreat to build group cohesion. Their boss is a drooling rat Muppet whom women adore. Put on your thinking helmet and be prepared for a slow, dark, existential French horror comedy - and talking fish that tell outrageous stories! Catch this one in rep theatres near you.
