Incroyable mais vrai
Auf der Suche nach einem neuen Heim besichtigen Alain und Marie ein Haus in einem ruhigen Vorort. Der Makler warnt sie vor etwas, das sich im Keller verbirgt und ihr Leben auf den Kopf stellen wird. Fasziniert entscheidet das Paar sich zum Kauf. Als Alains forscher Chef mit seiner Freundin zum Dinner kommt, ist die Versuchung groß, die unglaublichen (aber wahren!) Informationen zu teilen. Doch Marie ist entschlossen, das Geheimnis des Kellers für sich zu behalten. Sie kann nicht anders, als immer wieder hinunterzugehen … Quentin Dupieux, einer der exzentrischsten Köpfe des zeitgenössischen Kinos mit einem schier unerschöpflichen Vorrat an bizarren Einfällen, beweist erneut seine komödiantische Brillanz in dieser Satire über menschliche Obsessionen. Er gibt seinen Schauspieler*innen Gelegenheit, in unvergesslich skurrile Rollen zu schlüpfen, was ihnen sichtlich Spaß bereitet: Beteiligt sind Alain Chabat und Léa Drucker als sympathisches Pärchen, das vor einer ungewöhnlichen Herausforderung steht. Anaïs Demoustier spielt eine promiskuitive junge Frau mit Intelligenz und Leichtigkeit genau im richtigen Maß. Und Benoît Magimel zeigt sich mit seiner schrägen Darbietung als Schauspieler auf dem Höhepunkt seiner Karriere. (Text: Berlinale)
PRESSEQUOTES BERLINALE 2022:
“A clever and (...) hilarious take on middle-aged Frenchies finding the fountain of youth in ways you’d never dream of.”
"Something original, lively and a bit absurd”
- THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER -
"A real gem in Dupieux’s filmography”
“Quentin Dupieux has become the arthouse’s most reliable purveyor of artisanally-produced, small-batch surrealism, showing up at one of the major festivals nearly every year for another bit of deadpan fun”
“This film leaves the viewer with a pleasant, and almost bittersweet aftertaste;
it almost leaves you wanting more”
- INDIEWIRE -
“The house looks a little like the one in PARASITE. But what’s in this basement is even stranger.“
“Incredible but True is a fun little trinket that unmistakably comes from Dupieux’s far-out perspective”
- VARIETY -
“The sheer silliness and zen pointlessness is entertaining”
“It’s a film with something of Charlie Kaufman or Spike Jonze or early Woody Allen, mixed with a French version of the Carry Ons”

Incroyable mais vrai
Alain et Marie emménagent dans un pavillon. Une trappe située dans la cave va bouleverser leur existence.
Incredible but True
Alain and Marie are viewing a house in a quiet suburb. The real estate agent warns them that what lies in the cellar will turn their lives upside down. Amazed and excited by what they discover, the couple decides to buy the property. When Alain’s brash boss and his girlfriend come over for dinner, the temptation to share the incredible (but true!) piece of information is strong. Marie, however, is determined to keep it a secret. She becomes obsessed with the cellar and cannot help going down there ...
One of cinema’s most eccentric creators, Quentin Dupieux has a seemingly inexhaustible source of bizarre ideas on which he builds with comic brilliance. He has once again generously given his cast an opportunity to play unforgettably quirky characters and really, what more fun could an actor have? Contributing to a satirical discourse on human obsession with their youthful performances, popular French actors Alain Chabat and Léa Drucker lend their relatable traits to the couple facing an unusual challenge. Anaïs Demoustier’s portrayal of a promiscuous young woman has just the right amount of intelligent lightness. And what can one say about Benoît Magimel’s unhinged performance other than: this is clearly an actor at the peak of his career, who is capable of anything.
