French filmmaker Quentin Dupieux's Reality begins as a series of seemingly unrelated, absurd vignettes, before morphing into full blown metaphysical madness.
Various narrative strands intersect and overlap in strange and surreal ways in this crazy quilt of a movie that recalls the works of Bunuel, Lynch and Kaufman.
Although the film can sometimes feel like an exercise in cleverness, it is funny and engaging throughout, and is a refreshing change of pace from the cookie-cutter Hollywood machine.
