Rubber (2010)
[6]
A telekinetic tire comes to life in the desert and starts exploding small animals and many human heads in this bizarre horror comedy from Quentin Dupieux. If the absurd concept sounds remotely appealing, you might enjoy the movie. I enjoyed the early parts of the movie where the tire develops its knack for destruction, first on an empty water bottle, then a can, then (gulp) a bunny. The use of ‘spectator’ characters watching the movie (kinda like a greek chorus?) never gelled with me, and the ending seems to be more of a political statement than any kind of narrative resolution. But if you’re going to let a killer tire movie into your life, it’s best not to question its motivations.
