One of the most off-beat, idiot savant insane, yet bizarrely life affirming, emotionally edifying comedies I have seen in quite some time! Two likeable rapscallions fatefully form a singularly strange union with an inexplicably gigantic fly hidden in the boot of a stolen car, and it is not too long until these two amiably shambolic, slow-witted wastrels hatch a most audacious plan to remedy their current penury with the willing compliance of their adorable insectoid companion Dominique!
The exquisitely eccentric 'Mandibles' proves to be a no less beguilingly multi-faceted comedy than the delightful Dominique's lustrously red compound eyes! Like an especially warped Cheech and Chong comedy subversively reimagined by William S. Burroughs, the noisome buzz about inventive director Quentin Dupieux's deliciously DMT-phased interspecies fantasy is wholly deserved, charmingly acted by a talented cast, with some especially vivid work from the beautiful Adèle Exarchopoulos as the Stentorian, mesmerically unfiltered Agnès. The ear-wormingly wonderful score by Mentronomy is certainly no small part of the film's enormous charm, and, perhaps, one of the more remarkable aspects to Dupieux's fiendishly quirky Mise-en-scène is his seemingly effortless talent to rationalize even the most astronomically absurd scenario! 'Mandibles' flies boldly in the face of cinematic convention, giving far-out film fans just that little bit extra to chew on!
