Mandibules
, a comedy by Quentin Dupieux, 1h17
In
Mandibules
, we find Grégoire Ludig, the partner of Benoît Poelvoorde in
Au Poste!
, by the same Dupieux. Long hair and questionable beard, Manu sleeps on the beach. He was offered a mission paid for 500 euros: to collect a suitcase from a man named Michel Michel and deliver it to someone. He then steals a dilapidated yellow Mercedes and takes his best friend Jean-Gab (David Marsais, his sidekick from Palmashow, also decked out in a terrible cut). But, hardly left, the two nickel-plated feet discover a fly in the trunk of the car. A fly the size of a large dog. They then have a brilliant idea: to make sorrel with the fly by training it like a monkey.
“It's like a drone, it's even less boring than a drone, there are no batteries to put in it, and it gives us what we want.

Mandibles
?
Why not, Dupieux will stop at nothing and especially not in front of the most stupid ideas.
He has an incredible talent for transforming them into absurd and delirious comedies.
As always, Dupieux looks at idiots with a certain tenderness.
Above all, he reminds us that they are not the craziest.
Normal people can also be nuts and irrational, if not more so.
