MOVIE REVIEW: Rubber director's sentai spoof SMOKING CAUSES COUGHING is weird, discursive magic.
If what that pretty AMC spokesperson says is true, and we go to the movies for magic, and we define magic as a kind of manipulative sleight of hand, then French filmmaker Quentin Dupieux would probably make a pretty good magician . He would probably not be on the David Blaine/Criss Angel tier of magicians, but those guys are crap filmmakers, so the inverse is apparently not true.
The point is that Dupieux takes the understanding we have been taught about the nature of movie narratives and performs magic tricks. His early approach on films like was one of gleeful deconstruction, but it has evolved into a more interesting type of comic surrealism, infused with an easygoing adaptability. Whether it is finding a gigantic house fly in the trunk of a car or discovering your house has a time travel portal in the basement , Dupieux’s characters are ever nonplussed about these events and the pretzel logic that guides them.
That's suitably vague for this purpose, although it's worth mentioning that the superhero group here is styled after the Japanese sentai or tokusatsu genre, whatever my editor deems is the proper term , with all the suitable adornments: identical outfits and helmets, rubber-suited monsters, evil masterminds, etc.
It’s also worth mentioning, in the interest of including some semblance of evaluation, that the cast is uniformly excellent and delivers enthusiastic performances, even the ones played by puppets, and the pacing is lively and not at all boring.while being completely unaware that you’re reading, if that makes sense .
