Opening shot: a firefighter kneels down to shit on the ground. In the backround we see more firefighters chilling. Moving the camera, we see a burning car. Queue titlecard. "Wrong". Cut to the alarm clock, showing 7:59. We wait... clock moves... 7:60.
If you've seen "Rubber" and liked it, you'll be in for a treat! It almost felt like "Being John Malkovich" from how weird everyone acts and reacts.
It's the story of a loving dog owner, whose dog goes missing. Of course he wants to get it back.
But that's just a setup for director Depieux to lead us into a world weirder than anything imaginable. While usually we get at least some straight man to help us grasp what's happening, even our straight man, portrait by Jack Plotnick, goes to work at a place he's been fired from years ago.
It's absurdist, but everything that happens makes sense... in the world it's set in.
To all the fun we're having add some of the most beautiful cinematography you'll find in indie cinema today and just have a great time.
4 out of 5 stars and a like from me.
