Title: Rubber
Written and Directed by: Quentin Dupieux
Current Flickchart position: #815 of 1372 overall. My #58 film, of 70, from the year 2010.
What It’s About:
When Robert, an inanimate tire, discovers his destructive telepathic powers, he soon sets his sights on a desert town; in particular, a mysterious woman becomes his obsession.
General Comments:
To me Rubber is the ultimate indie art film. It’s bizarrely original, nonsensical, weird, yet strangely interesting. Not one single bit of it makes sense but I found myself captivated the whole time. I really am at a loss for words.
Watch Rubber because it’s pretty much a bad to average film, that’s elevated to something more thanks to it’s sheer originality and inventiveness. Just don’t expect any kind of explanation or motivation for anything that happens.
Rating: 5.5/10
