Incredible But True (2022, Quentin Dupieux)

Where to start? Well, he crams in more incident and all that into 73 minutes for a start. No time to ponder, which is just as well, as his films tend to be their own little worlds.
Yes yes, that's what all directors aim to achieve surely?
I suppose what I like about them is that they do not pander probably. They all trundle along at their own pace, with scant regard to fashion and furniture and the like. TF.
A couple are househunting. What they find isn't ... unpleasant certainly.
Initially.
Yet again, I was left pondering on the meaning of such a travail.
I'll let you know when I find it.




Non Film (2002, QD)

An early short from him above. A film crew try to make magic out of almost nothing. So meta it squeaked at points.
On watching this, I saw that in two decades he has honed his unique world view mostly free of flab, as this one is a tad Godard lite in places I felt.
Am glad to have seen it, whether I return to it will be another matter ....
