• This Week In Trailers: Rockfield: The Studio On The Farm, Truffle Hunters, The Great American Lie, Mandibles, Billie

    Trailers are an under-appreciated art form insofar that many times they’re seen as vehicles for showing footage, explaining films away, or showing their hand about what moviegoers can expect. Foreign, domestic, independent, big budget: What better way to hone your skills as a thoughtful moviegoer than by deconstructing these little pieces of advertising? This week,…

  • 'Wrong Cops' Trailer: Gay Porn, Car Humping, And Liberties With Law Enforcement

    The trailer for Nymphomaniac set the bar pretty high when it comes to including explicit content in movie advertising. And, in truth, this trailer for Wrong Cops, from director Quentin Dupieux (Rubber, Wrong) isn't nearly as explicit as that. But, in the fashion that is now the recognizable signature of Dupieux, it is nuts. I'm…

  • Interview With 'Wrong' Director Quentin Dupieux: "Almost Every Movie Makes Too Much Sense"

    There's a quality to the most recent films from Quentin Dupieux, Rubber and Wrong, that I find approachable and endearing, even comforting. Dupieux rejects standard storytelling rules and structure, but follows a perceptible internal logic that holds his tales together. He injects stories with seemingly meaningless elements, but there is a method by which they…

  • Read The Interactive 'Moonrise Kingdom' Script

    Oscar campaigning used to be so easy. Take out a few trade adds, approach a number of key voters, do a few rounds of dinners and drinks, done. Now there are far more outlets to get out info about a movie. The internet allows distributors to make all manner of materials available to promote their films…

  • Sundance 2013 Adds Four Films Including Quentin Dupieux's Work In Progress With Marilyn Manson And 'El Mariachi'

    We're just over a month away from the 2013 Sundance Film Festival and I can almost feel the slushy snow seeping through my boots already. The line-up is already incredibly impressive, as it includes world premieres of Ashton Kutcher in jOBS, the new Shane Carruth film Upstream Color, Richard Linklater‘s Before Midnight; and the horror…

  • VOTD: 'Rubber' Director Makes William Fichtner Play Chess With A Puppet

    I know there's something about Quentin Dupieux's films that rub people the wrong way, but I have a deep affection for the absurdity of Rubber. (I haven't yet had a chance to see his new feature, Wrong.) I get great enjoyment from his irreverent, slightly pretentious take on film. And so I'll give some time…

  • 'Wrong' - Man Loses Dog, Hilarious And Weird Stuff Happens [Sundance 2012]

    Quentin Dupieux's 2010 film Rubber starts off with a monologue explaining that many things in the world, or more specifically in the world of movies, happen for no reason. His follow-up feature Wrong, which had its world premiere at the 2012 Sundance Film Festival, is 90 minutes proving that statement. The film is non-stop 'no…

  • Clip From 'Rubber' Director's New Film 'Wrong' Offers A Mysterious Warning

    Is killer tire movie Rubber, the last film from Quentin Dupieux (aka Mr. Oizo) incredibly pretentious or pure fun wacky silliness? I go with the latter, though I guess I can see why the very self-aware film could rub some people the wrong way and lead to an accusation of pretension. I'm all for Dupieux…

  • 'Rubber,' Quentin Dupieux's Killer Tire Movie, Gets Release Dates

    One of the films that featured prominently on the 2010 festival circuit, but didn't get a 2010 U.S. release, was Quentin Dupieux's art house thriller Rubber. Starring a rolling, silent, killer tire, the concept alone is enough to get you into the theater. Thankfully, Dupieux then delivers the goods: a surprising blend of horror and…

  • 'Rubber' Teaser Trailer: A Film About A Killer Tire With Psychic Powers

    Yep, a killer tire. Yes, it seems like a joke, but is not. Rubber is a film written, shot and directed by Quentin Dupieux, and it will play as a special screening in the International Critic's Week competition (La Semaine de la Critique) at the 2010 Cannes Film Festival later this month.
