Fugain shows up at the police station to report that there’s a body in front of his apartment building. What he doesn’t anticipate is running into Captain Buron, who will submit him to arduous questioning, each sentence more outrageous than the last.
Gleefully toying with the conventions of the police procedural film, Quentin Dupieux’s absurdist cat-and-mouse chase not only breaks the fourth wall, it turns the whole genre on its head! Full of surreal, meta-textual tricks, this Buñuel-esque gem is a breathless ride that delights in manic chaos.
