    So bad but true

    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.

    weird...

    Little art stub from increible france, so believe it or not...

    its easy to spoil the fun due to its compressed idea and small cast, that doesnt fail much, what i strive most of all with is the urge of 70's and 80's feeling that i had but they say its 2021 in the story. Another issue is the somehow bleach like imaging of the world, just like the film where dried in the sun for speeding up purposes.

    But its a film about a house, sex, rejuvination, man-holes, electronic dicks, instability , bad apples and ants. What amaze me most is that i wouldve betted my roins to japan and back if i ever bought a house like the story tells about.

    So a witty presentation for us old and gregarious, there are only one truth in life except being born and that is to die, so believe it or not, a small recommend from the grumpy old man.

    The myth of eternal youth

    The myth of eternal youth as seen by Quentin Dupieux. Original and quite funny, and also a little sad since eternal youth is a myth. With excellent performers, in particular Alain Chabat, Lea Drucker, Benoît Magimel and Anaïs Demoustier.

    Age not wise

    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.

    Clever concept...

    "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.
