Wrong (2012) d. Dupieux, Quentin (USA)
Though this will undoubtedly be marketed as “from the director of Rubber,” viewers not entirely entranced by that flick’s meta approach to the sci-fi/horror premise of a Scanner-like self-ambulating tire need not steer clear of this sterling surrealist comedy. Nebbish Jack Plotnick wakes up to discover his beloved pooch Paul missing, an event which sparks a day in the life adventure unlike any we’ve seen before. In Dupieux’s world, the expression “anything can happen” is taken to a whole new level, and revealing any of the surprises in store would be doing a disservice. (You’ll never look at a clock reading 7:59 the same way again.) Suffice to say, it’s funny as hell, brilliantly performed, wholly original, ridiculous, and not to be missed.
