Certified Fresh with 93% on Rotten Tomatoes!
From the twisted mind of Quentin Dupieux (RUBBER), MANDIBLES is an absurdist romp that follows simple-minded friends Jean-Gab (David Marsais) and Manu (Grégoire Ludig). After stealing a beat-up Mercedes in order to deliver a mysterious briefcase to an unknown recipient, the friends find more than they bargained for when they hear a buzzing, thumping noise coming from the trunk of the car. When they open it, they find a gigantic fly trapped inside. Manu and Jean-Gab decide to forgo their current mission and instead focus on training the fly to carry out robberies for them, in the hope of making a ton of cash. A hilarious mash-up of buddy comedy and road movie, with a sci-fi twist, MANDIBLES is a wild and surreal film about friendship, big dreams, and bigger disasters.
France | Belgium, 2020, 77 minutes, Not Rated, In French with English subtitles, Directed by Quentin Dupieux

“Delightfully stupid and unusually sweet."
– Guy Lodge, VARIETY -
“Genuinely, rib-shakingly funny.”
– Lee Marshall, SCREEN INTERNATIONAL -
“’Mandibles’ is short, odd and original, a weird comedy for people who like weird funny things, and it further establishes Dupieux as an ingenious and unique artist.”
– Randy Myers, SAN JOSE MERCURY NEWS -
“A rollicking, rambunctious tequila-dream of a movie."
– Xan Brooks, THE GUARDIAN -
“’Mandibles’ is sweet, simple, and oh-so-very stupid - a stupidity that's oddly liberating, like making up ridiculous scenarios with a pal over bong hits.”
– Beatrice Loayza, THE NEW YORK TIMES -
“Quentin Dupieux's absurdist comedy leanings are on full display, rendering ‘Mandibles’ his most surprisingly exuberant film to date.”
– Natalia Keogan, PASTE MAGAZINE
