Quentin Dupeiux’s Wrong debuted at Sundance last year to excellent early reviews, suggesting that his follow-up to destined-cult classic, Rubber, is going to be another big success this year.
We’d seen a rather baffling first teaser trailer and scene at the tail-end of 2011, just before its festival debut, and caught the film’s new poster yesterday. And with its VoD release just weeks away, Apple have debuted the first full-length trailer, to give us another great idea of what we have in store for us.
“Dolph Springer (Jack Plotnick) awakens one morning to find he has lost the sole love of his life—his dog, Paul. Desperate to reunite with his best friend and to set things right, Dolph embarks on a journey which spirals into the realm of the absurd. On his quest, he drastically alters the lives of several severely bizarro characters, including a promiscuous pizza delivery girl (Alexis Dziena), a mentally unstable, jogging-addicted neighbor, an opportunistic French-Mexican gardener, an eccentric pet detective (Steve Little) and most mysterious of all, an enigmatic pony-tailed guru, Master Chang (William Fichtner) who imparts his teachings to Dolph on how to metaphysically reconnect with his pet. From fearless cinematic surrealist Quentin Dupieux, the director behind the head-exploding Rubber, Wrong is a wholly original and hilariously hallucinatory universe all its own.”
Jack Plotnick, Éric Judor, Alexis Dziena, William Fichtner, Steve Little, and Mark Burnham lead the cast, with Dupieux once more directing from his own script.
With reviews like the film has been getting, it’s looking like Dupieux is going to be a name we’ll be hearing more and more of in the years to come, particularly with his next feature, Wrong Cops, screening at Sundance this month.
Wrong will be available through VoD on 1st February, with its US release date set for 29th March. No word yet on if/when we can look forward to it here in the UK, but here’s to hoping it will be following shortly after.
