Synopsis
Incredible But True (Incroyable mais vrai, 2022) is a French absurdist comedy-fantasy by Quentin Dupieux that you can watch online on iFILM, starring Alain Chabat and Léa Drucker. A couple in their forties buy the house they've always wanted — quiet suburb, nice garden. The estate agent mentions the basement comes with something unusual. He is not wrong.
There is a tunnel. The tunnel does a specific thing. No explanation is offered. The couple absorbs this information, starts using the tunnel, and then reorganises their entire existence around it. This is the film. What makes it unsettling and funny at the same time is how methodically ordinary the couple's reaction is — as if adjusting to the inexplicable were just another home-ownership task to manage.
Dupieux runs at 74 minutes and refuses to overstay. He has been making films like this for years — Rubber, Mandibles, Smoking Causes Coughing — each one built around a single strange premise executed with complete deadpan commitment. If that register is new to you, this is a clean entry point. Stream Incredible But True (2022) online on iFILM.
