Quentin Dupieux is back! If you know the filmmaker’s prior works such as Rubber, Wrong, and Deerskin, you know his films tend to be pretty strange, with ideas that make you wonder if perhaps he’s not all there. Well, his latest film Mandibles might be the weirdest yet, and probably isn’t for anybody with an extreme dislike for bugs.
In the new Mandibles trailer, we see that it centers around a giant fly that is discovered by a pair of idiots who proceed to try and make a profit from it. It goes about as well as one can expect.
The film stars a bunch of people you’ve maybe never heard of: Gregoire Ludig, David Marsais, Adele Exarchopoulos, India Hair, Romeo Elvis, Coralie Russier, and Bruno Lochet. The biggest name of the bunch is Exarchopoulos, best known for her award-winning performance in Blue is the Warmest Colour.
Dupieux has been surprisingly bullish on the film’s prospects, telling a French outlet that he’d be open to doing a sequel titled Tentacles if this one does well.
When simple-minded friends Jean-Gab and Manu find a giant fly trapped in the boot of a car, they decide to train it in the hope of making a ton of cash.
