Smoking Causes Coughing

Maverick French director Quentin Dupieux may forever be associated with that pesky Flat Eric video & his killer tyre movie Rubber from a few years back, but we can certainly forgive him those minor misdemeanours, when presented with something as wildly inventive & entertaining as this. 

Entirely his own creation, Dupieux presents us with a madly surreal superhero world, where The Tobacco Five, feisty superhero vigilantes, are sent on a week-long retreat having successfully fought a demon turtle (as you do). Their ultimate commander, however, senses that their team spirit is waning, but before teambuilding can commence, their sojourn is disrupted when the Emperor of Evil, Lézardin, reveals his vile plot to destroy the planet Earth. Join us down the rabbit hole for this zany Gallic adventure.
