Rubber (2010)




Also Known As: -
Year of first release: 2010
Director: Quentin Dupieux
Actors: -
Country: F
Genre: Thriller
Conditions of visioning: 24.08.2012, City46, OV
Synopsis: When a tire discovers its destructive power, it soon sets its sight on a desert town. 
Review: The big originality of the movie is to show the perspective of a tire. That this tire gets mad about a girl and kills anything on its way is another condition. The pictures have a very special depth and contrast coming from the use of a photocamera and not a usual video camera. The images are thus extraordinary. The story sets in parallel and merges also the story with "no reason" of a killing tire and the story of movie viewers, for which the first story is done. Practically understood but the reason is not clear. Who cares! The suspense is maintained by the story, but as some actors do not speak much, the soundtrack takes more importance and is sometimes leading the rythm down. 
Rating: 7 /10

  1. I have seen the movie at the Munich Fantasy Film Fest 2010. I also liked the crazy plot of this movie, the crystal-clear images, and above all the fact that you don't get bored like you would think with such a simple story!
    Let#s not forget to mention that the director is a DJ (Mr Oizo), and that there is a short cameo from Gaspard Augé of the band Justice.
    My rating: 6/10.
