Screen can reveal the first trailer for French director Quentin Dupieux’s new film Incredible But True ahead of its world premiere at the Berlinale as a special gala screening on Friday (Feb 11).
The comedy reunites Dupieux with French star Alain Chabat, who previously appeared in the director’s 2014 film Réalité. He co-stars opposite Léa Drucker as a couple who move to a quiet suburb and then find a mysterious tunnel in the cellar of their new home that turns their lives upside down.

In the pantheon of love-them-or-hate-them auteurs, Quentin Dupieux resides somewhere in the middle — neither as provocative as a Gaspar Noé nor as clever in his absurdity as a Yorgos Lanthimos. His latest, “Keep an Eye Out,” isn’t actually his latest: Distributed abroad three years ago, its stateside release follows those of 2019’s “Deerskin” and last year’s “Mandibles.” Devotees of the French filmmaker (who also goes by Mr. Oizo) may find “Keep an Eye Out” worth the wait, but anyone not already on board with Dupieux’s brand of offbeat humor and forays into the surreal can safely ignore the title’s advice.
The film begins with a speedo-clad man conducting an open-air orchestra and continues at the same bizarre pace for all 73 minutes of its scant runtime, which is for the best — even those with an affinity for this kind of outré offering would concede that a little goes a long way.

The first scene of Keep an Eye Out, another crazy film by France’s Quentin Dupieux, evokes that memorable speech from Rubber about how all the great films have stuff with "no reason" to be. That’s because in said sequence, we see a man in underpants serving as a conductor of an orchestra that is playing in the open air! Once the guy in his underwear is caught by the police, Dupieux "locks us up" in a police station where the boss, the not-so-bright Buron (Benoît Poelvoorde), is conducting an interrogation on another man, Louis (Grégoire Ludig), who's suspected of murder after finding a corpse outside his apartment. Throughout its 70+ minutes, Keep an Eye Out will continue to make the "no reason” speech from Rubber...

We cover a lot of trailers at The Playlist. Sometimes they’re so abstract that they don’t tell you anything. Other times, the clips are way too long and spoil just about everything about the film.

That’s exactly what you get with the trailer for “Keep an Eye Out.”

"I'm doing a trailer. I'll call you back." Dekanalog has unveiled an official trailer for the Quentin Dupieux film Keep an Eye Out, which originally premiered in 2018 under the French title Au Poste! (Which just translates to At Office!). The short synopsis is pretty straightforward: police officers at a station must solve a murder case. But this is a Dupieux film, so you know there's more funky shit going on than that. Between the opening sequence, when a man in just red briefs conducts a philharmonic orchestra in the open air, and the triple-meta denouement, the "whip-smart script disregards audience expectations, the fourth wall, and the laws of time and space. You'll never look at a protractor or an oyster the same way again." The film stars Belgian comedian Benoît Poelvoorde, with Grégoire Ludig, Marc Fraize, and Anaïs Demoustier. Described in reviews as "an absurd and often surreal comedy with...

Rubber helmer Quentin Dupieux has returned to French cinemas with his latest effort Keep An Eye Out (Au Poste) and it would appear he's got a bit of a hit on his hands with over a hundred thousand admissions in its first week. Louis just found the corpse of a man in front of his apartment building. Taken in for custody by Captain Buron, he nds himself on the wrong end of a surreal interrogation. But how can you prove you are innocent when the cops are crazy? Benoit Poelvoorde and Gregoire Ludig star in what appears to be - as is the case with all of Dupieux's work - a deeply absurd comedy. A pair of subtitled teasers have just arrived to give a...
