IMDB Page
A collection of 12 surrealist French skits running in at just over an hour their individual titles are Metrovision, Revestriction, Graffiti, Le Cimetiere Des Elephants, Embouteillage, Corridor, Interrogatoire, Urgence, La Derniere Mouche, TV Buster, Cyclope, Sculture Physique and they all wrapped around a piece called Les Avengles. Some are humorous some are pure weird for weird sake. Highlights include an evil old couple whose house contains dozens of nasty death traps, a story of cars driving their self and their owners to junkyards to be crushed and a man who has his body and limbs amputated so he can give a woman he loves real head. All the segments contain different looking visuals and actors so you'd suspect they've been made seperately and brought together at a later date. A real mixed bunch that feel very dated watching it in 2011, its most likely best suited to fans of surreal cinema or people who enjoy odd mixtape compilations.
