Being Flat

About This Movie

So, 'Being Flat' is this quirky little gem from 2015 that leans into the absurd, much like Dupieux's other works. The atmosphere is a blend of surreal humor and awkward encounters, all while showcasing puppetry alongside electronic music. You get that distinct Dupieux vibe, where the pacing is erratic but strangely engaging. The flatness of the characters—literally and metaphorically—offers a commentary on modern life's absurdity. The practical effects with Flat Eric are charmingly lo-fi, which just adds to the film's unique flair. It’s not conventional by any means, but if you appreciate that offbeat style, it’s a curious watch that sticks with you for its oddities.
