Rubber (2010)

Do you want to see a film by Mr Oizo?, the mastermind behind those Levi jeans adverts with the Flat Eric puppet that we all loved in... *checks notes*.... 1999! Feels like yesterday. Well, maybe the day before yesterday.
Anyway, the deal is this, he's made a movie about a Satanic tyre.
Stay with me- the tyre has psychokinetic power to blow stuff up and and likes generally killing as many people as possible. It's not an puppet or CGI- it's a rubber tyre.
No, obviously it doesn't talk.
I think this not-everyday story of a murderous tyre would be enough but we get these additional points, where an 'audience' with binoculars are watching the proceding for reasons unknown...
Me, i have a soft spot for most forms of 4th wall demolition.
There's this great preface to the start of the film delivered by one character, about the causality of films and fiction in general - "why was ET brown? Why were the lovers in Love Story attracted to each other?-No reason."
Now if you decided to commit to watch a film about a killer tyre... i don't think you need a warning about logic or the lack therein and as much as i really like the 'audience' concept (something that incidentally makes less sense than if they'd said nothing), i suspect that it has more to do with Mr Oizo (aka Quentin Dupieux) have not much to say about a killer tyre. Other than it's a tyre and... well you get the picture.

I watched Rubber (2010) on BluRay, via LoveFilm.
My 2011 in Movies will return with Enter The Void (2009)...
