PLAYING NEXT MIDWEEK AUGUST 17 THRU 19 AT SAME SHOW TIMES!

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.

“It never loses its sense of strangeness, which is just delightful, becoming the best men-befriend-giant-fly movie of the year.” – Brian Orndorf, Blu-ray.com

“An especially off-kilter ode to friendship that’s, coming from Quentin Dupieux. unusually lighthearted and positive.” – Robert Kojder, Flickering Myth

“What makes “Mandibules” so refreshing is that, just as its anti-heroes don’t care about how they are supposed to behave, Dupieux has an airy disregard for how a chase thriller or a horror movie is supposed to proceed.” – Nicholas Barber,indieWire
