Quentin Dupieux is back! No, I’m not sure who he is either but nevertheless I’m intrigued. His previous effort called Rubber – a film reported as being an exercise in ‘intellectual w**kery’ and B-movie tackyness – was well received and concerning as it did a murderous car tyre with homicidal intent how could it not be?
His follow up is Wrong, a film that so far has confounded all attempts by anyone to decipher precisely what’s going on. The Gibson-insane trailer released in November served to confuse everyone further but even so the film is already generating quite a cult following. Get ready to have your mind diddled:
The film stars William Fichtner, Alexis Dziena and Steve Little and centres around a man who is looking for his lost dog and along the way comes across a nympho pizza-delivery girl, a jogging neighbor seeking the absolute, and a mysterious righter of wrongs.
Who the hell knows how this is going to turn out? It has bonkers pedigree, a crazy vague trailer and added to this it now has an even vaguer teaser scene, presumably released to ready it’s audiences bewildered faces for the films premiere at Sundance in a few weeks:
So who’s Mr Chang? Why is he running late? Why did she take so long to do her stretches? Why does all of the promotional material for this film end so abruptly? What is the director on?
Well you can rest assured that all of these questions and more won’t be satisfactorily answered come the film’s (currently unspecified) release date.
And even then it looks like one question will trump them all. Why?
