Film Review - Smoking Causes Coughing

SMOKING CAUSES COUGHING 1

While different filmmakers tackle different subjects for their pictures, writer/director Quentin Dupieux has maintained a steady interest in creating absurdist comedies, doing so with remarkable consistency (curiously, his last endeavor, “Incredible but True,” was not made available for review). He’s a man in love with oddity, giving the French film industry a healthy dose of nonsense, creating some impressive and hilarious offerings of insanity. For “Smoking Causes Coughing,” Dupieux looks to merge the adventuring of “Mighty Morphin Power Rangers” with the horror of “Tales from the Crypt,” doing so with a tiny budget but a grand imagination for silly business that comments, to a certain degree, on the human condition. “Smoking Causes Coughing” is broken down into bits of lunacy, presented as an anthology film where tales of horror and personal reflection emerge from anywhere. It’s traditional Dupieux, but the feature is hilarious at times, reinforcing his skills as a moviemaker. Read the rest at Blu-ray.com
