c'est pour ça

A farcical 70 minute police interrogation, executed by the most exasperating police detectives ever, as the whole turd of a shamozzle spirals into a shit-show of stupendous absurdity.

And they play around with flashbacks, and screw around with the infallibility of memory, and call into question the very nature of truth itself. The borders between each are as porous as a condom punched full of holes by a Catholic prophylactic saboteur.

Actually, it was kind of fun, actually. It was also a little bit thought provoking, actually. And at times pretty stupid, actually. So, I liked it, actually.

Yes, I watched this film two times today (I had to rewatch it with my girlfriend immediately). Probably the most accessible Quentin Dupieux film (at least from the ones I've seen) and one of his funniest yet. It's a diverting film not only due its short run time of 70-ish minutes but also due to its great storytelling and surprise ending. I really need to see Rubber now. Doesn't quite hold up on a rewatch but I still really liked it (initially 4.5 stars, now 4 stars).

Dupieux atteint une maitrise de son cinéma. Le rythme, les dialogues, les idées, la déconstruction. Et un peu comme avec Réalité il a encore une fois trouvé un acteur (Poelvoorde) qui fonctionne parfaitement dans son univers. Et moi j'adore les déconstructions narratives qui se retournent sur elles-mêmes... c'est pour ça
(sérieux j'ajoute une demi-étoile juste pour le coup de l'équerre)
Et y a du Bunuel dans l'air

C'est pas si souvent que 100% des lignes de dialogue d'un film sont à pleurer de rire c'est pour ça

Wer der Meinung ist, dass heutzutage keine originellen Filme mehr erscheinen, der sollte sich Quentin Dupieuxs neusten Film anschauen. In Die Wache geht es um ein Verhör auf einem Polizeirevier, das abstruse Ausmaße annimmt. Es ist schwer genau zu erklären was den Humor des Films ausmacht. Hierzu ist er zu weird und vielfältig. Und das ist großartig, da man als Zuschauer nie weiß was als nächstes passieren wird. Da sich der Film um langwierige Prozesse dreht ist es nicht verwunderlich, dass sich seine kurze Laufzeit von nur 70 Minuten um einiges länger anfühlt. Langweilig war er deswegen jedoch keineswegs. Viel mehr unterstreicht er somit die Aussagen, die er selbst über das erzählen von Geschichten trifft. Diese Ansätze laden zum Nachdenken ein und zeigen, dass es sich hierbei nicht um bloßen Klamauk handelt.

Like most my previous Duplieux experiences, I appreciate his sense of performance and commitment, but find his absurdism just far too hard to connect. He is becoming a better filmmaker at least.

David Lynch hasn't confirmed a fourth season of Twin Peaks yet, but Quentin Dupieux started filming it anyway.

Au premier visionnage, je l'avais trouvé un peu en dessous dans la filmo de Dupieux mais quelle erreur! Je me suis vraiment éclaté lors du revisionnage et il se place maintenant juste derrière réalité dans mon cœur, c'est pourquoi je lui mets cette note extrêmement élevée

A man is held at a police station for an interrogation as a murder suspect. This is a pretty simple film that takes place almost entirely in the police office where the interrogation takes place. When one of the officers is involved in an accident, the main character hides his body and tries to continue the interrogation as we see into his memories as they get distorted by his guilt and worry over the dead officer. There are a few weird and amusing moments despite the boring 'story' that is being told, and a few moments that drag, but you want to see how it all ends. The ending itself is kind of disappointing, though.

Ha! Amazing. Sometimes laughed more at the amazing delivery of some lines than the jokes itself.
