Belgian funnyman Beno\u00eet Poelvoorde (Man Bites Dog) is Commissaire Buran, a good, bad cop interrogating Fugain, (Gr\u00e9goire Ludig), an average Joe who discovered a dead body outside his apartment building. As the film begins, Fugain must, on an empty stomach, explain how and why he happened to leave home seven times in one night before coming across a corpse in a puddle of blood. Since he\u2019s the investigation\u2019s only suspect, Fugain\u2019s anxiety is already sky-high when Buran leaves him alone with Philippe, a one-eyed rookie cop with bizarre speech patterns and a few minutes to live. Bloody, batshit hijinks ensue, and before long, we\u2019re in Bu\u00f1uel territory.\u00a0Between the opening sequence, when a man in just red briefs conducts a philharmonic orchestra in the open air, and the triple-meta denouement, Dupieux\u2019s whip-smart script disregards audience expectations, the fourth wall, and the laws of time and space. You\u2019ll never look at a protractor or an oyster the same way again.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"ttps:\/\/www.dekanalog.com\/films\/keep-an-eye-out\">WATCH NOW<\/a><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>KEEP AN EYE OUT | 2021 &#8211; 73&#8242; &#8211; Dark Comedy \/ Crime &#8211; Written and Directed by Quentin Dupieux.
