Vertiginous (französische OmeU) // 40. Fantasy Filmfest // Deutschlandpremiere // Quentin Dupieux

A man floats around without a lower body. A baby slips straight out of its mother without an umbilical cord. Why not? We’re in a Quentin Dupieux comedy. Jacky, however, has apparently never seen one of the director’s films: to him, these are all proof that something is wrong with the world. Armed with a list of 265 outrageous anomalies, he shares a shocking revelation with his friend Bruno: reality isn’t real—it’s a simulation! So are the two of them merely characters in a retro computer game? Or is this simply another glitch in the Matrix?

Just when you think you’ve really seen it all, the grandmaster of absurd cinema comes along with another work of sheer lunacy. Here, he tackles the biggest questions of our existence in the strangest setting imaginable: authentic PlayStation 2 visuals. Incredibly bizarre. And utterly unique.
