DJ-turned-writer-director-cinematographer-editor-composer Quentin Dupieux returns with another inspired one-joke movie, this time about two dumb losers and their giant fly. Warm-hearted, brilliantly acted and packed with big laughs, it’s a delightful comic treat with plenty of buzz.
Mandibles opens with beach-sleeping dimwit Manu (Grégoire Ludig) recruiting best buddy Jean-Gab (David Marsais) for a car theft and mysterious suitcase delivery misson that will net them the princely sum of 500 Euros. However, their plan hits an unexpected setback when they open the trunk of their newly nicked automobile and discover a giant fly.
Jean-Gab isn’t one to miss an opportunity, so he quickly suggests they train the fly and use it to rob banks, “like a drone”. However, their plans hit another snag when they’re unexpectedly invited to stay...

"The world is out of whack." Magnolia Pictures has released an official US trailer for the absurdist comedy Mandibules, the latest from wacky French musician / filmmaker Quentin Dupieux. This also goes under the English title Mandibles, but I prefer the original French spelling more. This originally premiered at the Venice Film Festival last year to mostly rave reviews (here's mine) and it deserves to be the sleeper hit of the summer in the US this year. Two simple-minded friends discover a giant fly in the trunk of a car and decide to domesticate it to earn money with it. But it's about much more than just that. Definitely a kooky Dupieux concept and it's hilarious. One of my favorite films he's made so far. Starring Adèle Exarchopoulos, Grégoire Ludig, Bruno Lochet, Coralie Russier, India Hair, David Marsais, with Dave Chapman as "La Mouche" (aka The Fly). It's best to see...

Quentin Dupieux, also known in some circles by his musical stage name of Mr. Oizo, has a cult following for his deadpan, dry-as-a-bone comedies about oddball corners of humanity. They’ve so far included films like “Rubber,” “Reality,” and most recently “Deerskin.” Now he’s back with “Mandibles,” a droll lowlife comedy about two simple-minded friends who discover a giant fly in the trunk of a car and decide to domesticate it to earn money. Watch the trailer for the film below.
The cast includes Gregoire Ludig, David Marsais, Adele Exarchopoulos (in a reportedly scene-stealing role as a brain-damaged woman who can only speak at screaming volume), India Hair, Romeo Elvis, Coralie Russier, and Bruno Lochet. Dupieux also wrote the film in addition to directing it.
“Mandibles” first premiered at the Venice Film Festival back in September of 2020. This was followed by runs at Sitges Catalonia, Busan, Thessaloniki, and Rotterdam.

"I need more action. I need more blood." The very last country to debut this film years after its premiere. Picturehouse Entertainment has debuted one final UK trailer for the wacky, weird, killer film from French filmmaker Quentin Dupieux titled Deerskin. This originally premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in 2019 in Directors' Fortnight, and already opened last year in the US. The film stars Oscar-winner Jean Dujardin as a man who loves his new deerskin jacket. Maybe a bit too much. His obsession with this special jacket causes him to blow his life savings and turn to crime. And snuff films? The cast includes Adèle Haenel, Albert Delpy, Coralie Russier, Laurent Nicolas, and Pierre Gommé. Even though we've seen plenty of trailers, this poster for the film might just be the best one yet. View below. Here's the official UK trailer (+ quad UK poster) for Quentin Dupieux's Deerskin, direct from...

"Never saw them, never met them." Memento Films in France has revealed the first full festival trailer for the film Mandibules, the latest from wacky French musician / filmmaker Quentin Dupieux. This just premiered at the Venice Film Festival last weekend to mostly rave reviews (here's mine) and it's going to hit the Sitges Film Festival next this fall. Two simple-minded friends discover a giant fly in the trunk of a car and decide to domesticate it to earn money with it. But it's about more than just that. Definitely a Dupieux concept and it's hilarious. One of my favorites this year. The film stars Adèle Exarchopoulos, Grégoire Ludig, Bruno Lochet, Coralie Russier, India Hair, David Marsais, with Dave Chapman as "La Mouche" (aka The Fly).

Hi, fly. Memento Films in France has unveiled a short 15-second teaser trailer for the film Mandibules, the latest from wacky French musician / filmmaker Quentin Dupieux. The pandemic hasn't stopped him from working! Mandibules was also announced as part of the line-up for the 2020 Venice Film Festival, kicking off in September. So what the heck is this film about? Two simple-minded friends discover a giant fly in the trunk of a car and decide to domesticate it to earn money with it. Of course. Definitely a Dupieux concept. The film stars Adèle Exarchopoulos, Grégoire Ludig, Bruno Lochet, Coralie Russier, India Hair, David Marsais, with Dave Chapman as "La Mouche" (aka The Fly).

Because who knows what happens next.

It would be a massive understatement to call the works of filmmaker Quentin Dupieux “weird.” After all, this is the man who made a movie about a malevolent tire as his big breakthrough. Rubber certainly put him on the map, but interestingly, his latest film Deerskin is what may finally endear him to a larger crowd. To be sure, this is still a very odd flick, but it’s powered by a strong lead performance, a low-key charm, and a slow burn to its unusual nature. This won’t be for everyone, but in terms of Dupieux, it’s going to be for more people than ever before. The film is a black comedy that slowly veers into horror territory. Georges (Jean Dujardin) its recently divorced and on a long road trip to a small French alpine village. Along the way, he stops and pays a man (Albert Delpy) a...
