Now available On Demand, courtesy of Magnet Releasing, we have an exclusive clip from Smoking Causes Coughing! While everything may start out looking like a scene from Power Rangers, things take a very R-rated turn that you'll have to see for yourself!
"Labeled Dupieux’s “funniest yet” by The New York Times, Smoking Causes Coughing, the critically-acclaimed and Certified Fresh comedy arrives On Demand on June 27 from Magnolia Home Entertainment under the Magnet Label. The latest entry into the celebrated filmography of director Quentin Dupieux (Mandibles, Rubber), Smoking Causes Coughing stands as a must-see French film, full of crude humor and absurd comedy as a group of heroes prepare for the fight of their lives by taking a mandated retreat in the woods.
After a brutal battle, the Tobacco Force, a team of five frivolous superheroes, receive a call from their boss informing them of their most difficult battle yet; Lézardin, Emperor of Evil, plans to destroy Earth in just a matter of days. Before the ultimate battle between good and evil commences, the team is ordered to embrace a weekend long retreat, focused on rest and relaxation. What follows is Dupiex’s subversion of the normal superhero story, instead telling a tale full of friendship, heartbreak and epiphany through various vignettes, some bloody and some hysterical. A brash film that could only be conjured up by the unique mind of Dupieux, Smoking Causes Coughing asks the audiences to imagine what it would be like to go camping with the Power Rangers amidst a fever dream.
Smoking Causes Coughing will be available On Demand via Apple TV, Google Play, Prime Video, FandangoNOW and more on June 27.
Synopsis: "A wildly inventive new French comedy from Quentin Dupieux (Rubber), Smoking Causes Coughing follows the misadventures of a team of five superheroes known as the Tobacco Force – Benzene (Gilles Lellouche, Kompromat), Nicotine (Anaïs Demoustier, Sweet Evil), Methanol (Vincent Lacoste, Sorry Angel), Mercury (Jean-Pascal Zadi, Simply Black), and Ammonia (Oulaya Amamra, Divines). After a devastating battle against a diabolical giant turtle, the Tobacco Force is sent on a mandatory week-long retreat to strengthen their decaying group cohesion. Their sojourn goes wonderfully well until Lézardin, Emperor of Evil, decides to annihilate planet Earth."
