Director Quentin Dupieux presented two films at this year’s Cannes Film Festival, one of which is his animated debut Le Vertige. The musician turned director has been fiddling with absurdist, often meta-fictional satires since his earliest films, and the latest is no different. The new movie follows a man increasingly convinced he’s living in a simulation. This would sound conspiratorial to most everyone except the audience, who can clearly see he’s living in a low-polygonal PlayStation game.
