Reality

Friday, May 1 - Thursday, May 7, 2015

A mysterious VHS tape, a giant rat, and killer televisions: Napoleon Dynamite‘s Jon Heder and Tim and Eric Awesome Show‘s Eric Wareheim star in this head-spinning Hollywood satire. In the alternate reality of the LA entertainment industry, a cameraman (French comedy star Alain Chabat) has 48 hours to pull off the impossible: find the world’s greatest groan sound effect for the movie he dreams of directing or it doesn’t get made. As he embarks on a hilariously bizarre odyssey, fact and fiction, reality and dreams collide in a surreal swirl of comic absurdity. With brilliant turns by top comedians, Reality is a wondrously weird wild ride through director Quentin Dupieux’s (Rubber) extraordinary imagination.
