Increíble pero cierto

"Incredible But True" is a Drama - Fantasy movie in which we watch a couple moving to their new suburb house but their real estate agent informs them about their unique basement and what it can do, this will change their lives.

I liked this movie because it had a simple but interesting plot and the direction which was made by Quentin Dupieux who is also the writer, it was good. He succeeded on presenting very well his main characters and their connection while he made clear the plot of the movie. The interpretations of both Alain Chabat who played as Alain Duval and Léa Drucker who played as Marie Duval were very good and the difference of their characters created a nice result. To sum up, I have to say that "Incredible But True" is a nice movie and I recommend everyone to watch it.

Quentin Dupieux - I assume you have heard from him. Even better if you have seen a movie or two he has done. If not - well you are in for a treat. A treat that you might like - you hopefully like that is. It is tough to describe or talk about the story when it comes to his movies. Still this is one of the ones that I guess you could say makes sense.

Sense if you are open to the supernatural other dimensions and time travel. Sounds like a lot - maybe I packed more in there than needed ... but one thing is for sure: you have to be open minded. Even more open minded than the husband. But way less than his wife ... or at least less enthusiastic that is.

Japanese inventions, ladders to "infinity" and more crazy stuff can be found here. And all is more or less accepted as part of the world the character live in. Really good acting and shorter than 80 minutes this is a delight to say the least.

Predictable, super vulgar, old comedic effects, caricatures here we come. Seriously what happened to Dupieux. The image is disgusting, acting is off besides tertiary roles and Anaïs Demoustier. Luckily it was 70 minutes.

If you have watched other Quentin's Dupieux movies, you know what to expect. This is another comedy/drama/fantasy movie, surreal, bizarre, funny and weird. His movies are like a Parallel World, it's looking like ours, but it's not.

This movie is more coherent than his previous ones, there are some understandable messages here. It's a satire of modern way of living/of our shallow ambitions. Viewer gets what Dupieux try to say. Vanity is an unseen enemy of our happiness.

This is a better movie than Le daim (2019), better than WRONG (2012), a little bit worse than REALITY (2014).

I can't rate it higher because it didn't amaze me. It's clever, not brilliant. Enjoyable, not exciting. You will not think about this movie after you watch it, just like almost every other movie of him. In any case, if you haven't heard of this director, and you find it interesting as it was described, watch it.

Starting with as implausible a premiss as "Mandibles", this follows what logic there is into (in my mind) an interesting set of conclusions. Indeed, there are two separate ridiculous bases to the plot, both of which cause serious implications for the core characters as they follow their dreams and fantasies to unfortunate (or at least disappointing) ends.

There are lots of lovely comic touches throughout and appropriate awkwardness, particularly as the wife's self-image as a supermodel is gradually punctured.

I'm guessing that the core theme is that being happy with one's lot is not necessarily a "failure" and change isn't always for the good - but having this message wrapped up in such bonkers packaging is quite fun, and I'm glad that Quentin is out there doing "not normal" stuff like this alongside more generic fare.

Worth a look.
