Quentin Dupieux returns with more off kilter insanity about a couple that buys a house with a tunnel in the basement that leads to the upstairs in their house and a twlve hours away. There is more afoot here, including a plot line concerning male enhancement, all of which is going to make you sit up and take notice.
After two films that worked in fits and starts (MANDIBLES and DEERSKIN) Dupieux returns to form with an obtuse tale that walks on the weirdside. Refusing to give answers he mines his material for maximum effect opening our eyes with the unexpected turns and make us think with connections we never previously considered. For me this was the type of film that keeps me going back to Dupieux’s films, a point of view unlike anyone else.
As with all of Dupieux’s films this is not for everyone. It’s skewed sense of reality will not sit well with people who want their stories closer to reality. On the other hand this is probably his most mainstream film so there is a good chance that even if you haven’t like Dupieux’s other films you’ll like this one
Recommended.
