    KEEP AN EYE OUT

    QUENTIN DUPIEUX France, 2018

    Gleefully toying with the conventions of the police procedural film, Quentin Dupieux’s absurdist cat-and-mouse chase not only breaks the fourth wall, it turns the whole genre on its head! Full of surreal, meta-textual tricks, this Buñuel-esque gem is a breathless ride that delights in manic chaos.

    GODARD MON AMOUR

    MICHEL HAZANAVICIUS France, 2017

    If Jean-Luc Godard took a radical turn around the time of May 68, Michel Hazanavicius subverts the stern metamorphosis and turns it into a wildly entertaining, (un)romantic affair. Louis Garrel is the moody legendary director, while Stacy Martin is Anne Wiazemsky—on whose memoirs the film is based!

    INCREDIBLE BUT TRUE

    QUENTIN DUPIEUX France, 2022

    Descending into a bizarro world of electric genitals and elastic time, French jokester Quentin Dupieux devises newfangled, side-splitting methods for well-off egotists to keep up appearances. Suspend disbelief: this wild-eyed pursuit of eternal youth and virility is absurdly funny—and incisive too.
