Kudos to Dupieux for making movies mostly to amuse himself and the loyal, curious viewership that’s on his wavelength. For everybody else out there, no harm done.

Unpredictable, digressive, looping and parenthetical in structure, Smoking Causes Coughing is one of the most formally daring and unexpected films of the year.

Tongues are firmly in cheeks throughout, and Adèle Exarchopoulos steals the movie as a cheery smartphone addict who keeps vlogging into the digital abyss, even as she’s being pursued by a murderer.

I could say that it is like a failed experiment, which, like tobacco, only leaves a bad taste in the mouth. [Full review in Spanish]
