Quentin Dupieux’s Mandibles gets a UK release date

This September Altitude has announced they will bring visionary French filmmaker Quentin Dupieux’s Mandibles both to the big screen on 17 September and on demand at altitude.film and other digital platforms from 20 September.

MANDIBLES will receive its UK premiere at the Edinburgh International Film Festival on 21 August.

Mandibles is an absurdist romp that follows simple-minded friends Jean-Gab (David Marsais) and Manu (Gregoire Ludig). After stealing a beat-up Mercedes in order to deliver a mysterious briefcase to an unknown recipient, the friends find more than they bargained for when they hear a buzzing, thumping noise coming from the trunk of the car. When they open it, they find a gigantic fly trapped inside. Manu and Jean-Gab decide to forgo their current mission and instead focus on training the fly to carry out robberies for them, in the hope of making a ton of cash. A hilarious mash-up of buddy comedy and road movie, with a sci-fi twist, MANDIBLES is a wild and surreal film about friendship, big dreams, and bigger disasters.

Directed by Quentin Dupieux, the film stars Gregoire Ludig, David Marsais, Adele Exarchopoulos, India Hair, Romeo Elvis, Coralie Russier, and Bruno Lochet.
