Finally a leading actor with a profile! Here is the trailer for “Rubber”, a film with a telephatic killer tire. I think 90% will hate it, 7% will find it good, and 3% will adore it. I belong to the 3%. The absurd idea alone is a good one and lifts “Rubber” above the boring 08/15 everyday junk. A weird art house comedy based on David Lynch with a bit of splatter and Hollywood cracking. Dupieux has balls and a sense of humor.
RUBBER is the story of Robert, an inimate tire that has been abandoned in the desert, and suddenly and inexplicably comes to life. As Robert roams the bleak landscape, he discovers that he possesses terrifying telepathic powers that give him the ability to destroy anything he wishes without having to move. At first content to prey on small desert creatures and various discarded objects, his attention soon turns to humans, especially a beautiful and mysterious woman who crosses his path. Leaving a swath of destruction across the desert landscape, Robert becomes a chaotic force to be reckoned with, and truly a movie villain for the ages. Directed by legendary electro musician Quentin Dupieux (Steak, Nonfilm), aka Mr. Oizo, RUBBER is a smart, funny and wholly original tribute to the cinematic concept of no reason.
