Since the release of Rubber back in 2010, the name Quentin Dupieux became synonymous with experimental cinema. Apparently, you cannot make a film about a living tire with psychic powers named Robert without creating a name for yourself as a master of nonsense. Dupieux worked hard to keep the title, developing an enviable collection of films that explores the limits of the human capacity to find meaning in even the most ludicrous stories.

 Incredible but True is the latest movie by Dupieux, and just like its predecessors, it offers an absurd narrative that’s equally funny and relevant. Unfortunately, by trying to create a movie that’s more accessible to the public in general, Incredible but True loses some of the Dupieux magic we came to love in the past two decades.

Just as in previous Dupieux films, Incredible but True presents a preposterous idea right from the start, only to explore how the people involved in a surreal situation would act. Incredible but True starts when Alain (Alain Chabat) and Marie (Léa Drucker) decide to buy a new house. 

The couple searches for a cozy home where they can grow old together, but they end up choosing a place too big for themselves due to the fantastic thing they find in the basement. While revealing what they find would spoil the surprise, it suffices to say that Incredible but True deals with this wild concept as an undeniable truth right from the start. As the real estate agent (Stéphane Pézerat) warns the couple and the public at the same time, life is what it is, so it’s best if we just accept it and enjoy the ride.

Alain and Marie's incredible but very real house is not the only bizarre element Dupieux brings to his new movie, as another couple also has their own unbelievable news to share. Soon after Alain and Marie move to their new place, they host a dinner party with Alain’s boss, Gérard (Benoît Magimel), and his girlfriend, Jeanne (Anaïs Demoustier). During the meal, Gérard reveals he has acquired a shocking piece of technology, completely unrelated to Alain and Marie’s basement, but with similar purposes.
