Quentin Dupieux is back behind the camera again to direct his new film: “Smoking makes you cough”. Filming has just started, revealing the hallucinatory cast of this new project.
Quentin Dupieux: compulsive director
Before being a director, Quentin Dupieux is a famous composer of techno music. Known as Mr Oizo he became in 1999 one of the main figures of the French touch. Thanks to this success, he went behind the camera in 2001 with his first short film entitled Nonfilm. It was not until 2006 that the filmmaker directed his first feature film with Eric and Ramzy: Steak.
Then he decides to go to the United States where he will direct three films today very famous : Rubber, Wrong and Wrong Cops. Then with Reality, in 2014, he signed without doubt his most ambitious film, based on a script that was several years old. Worn by Alain Chabat, the feature film also marks his upcoming return to France. Indeed, from At office ! In 2018, Quentin Dupieux remains on French territory and connects projects at breakneck speed with one film per year : The deer (2019), Mandibles (2020) and Incredible but true expected soon.
Smoking makes you cough : an incredible casting
While Incredible but true hasn’t even come out yet, Quentin Dupieux is already working on his next film. Entitled Smoking makes you cough, the project entered filming this Thursday, September 9, 2021, as announced by the filmmaker on his Instagram account. The latter also revealed the cast who will accompany him in this adventure. And the least we can say it is because this time it was strong.
Smoking makes you cough will therefore bring together Gilles Lellouche (recently featured in BAC North); Vincent Lacoste (My glory days); Anaïs Demoustier (in theaters on September 15 with The loves of Anaïs); Jean-Pascal Zadi (César for Best Hope for Simply black); Oulaya Amamra (featured by Brittle since August 25); Adèle Exarchopoulos (who was already in Mandibles) ; the YouTuber Jerome Niel ; Doria Tillier (recently featured in Presidents); humorist Blanche Gardin (Clear history); Benoît Poelvoorde (which was already showing At office!); Alain Chabat (who returns to Quentin Dupieux after Reality and Incredible but true); and finally Grégoire Ludig and David Marsais, aka Le Palmalshow, who were the headliners of Mandibles.
For the time being, Smoking makes you cough does not yet have a release date, or even a synopsis, but this casting alone is enough to create an interstellar hype!
