RUBBER

No, this isn't a sex comedy; nor is it a commercial about Goodyear or Michelin. This is a trailer for a film about a nondescript, sentient, black tire that rolls around and (psychically? telekinetically?) blows peoples heads up. I've already said too much.



Back in high school (thanks Steffan Thomas!), I was able to come across a little diamond called Mr. Oizo. You may recognize the name from the tune 'Flat Beat'--a monotonous, catchy number that was heard everywhere from the airwaves, to Levis jeans commercials.

Mr. Oizo (aka Quentin Dupieux) directs Rubber. His music is also in it. Rubber was screened at the 2010 Cannes Film Festival to a bevy of bad reviews (snobs). The tire's name is Robert, people! See you there.
