SIMILAR PICKS / A PERSONAL CONNECTION

If you loved Mandibules, try these.

Rubber poster 01

Movie / 2010 / Comedy / Fantasy / Horror

Rubber

Why this pick

Dupieux’s deadpan absurdism turns an impossible premise into a strangely calm road movie, with the same commitment to lovable idiots, spare imagery, and escalating nonsense.

Deerskin poster 02

Movie / 2019 / Comedy / Thriller

Deerskin

Why this pick

Its off-kilter French humor and clean, uncanny minimalism closely match Mandibules, following a foolish obsession with complete seriousness and pleasingly unpredictable detours.

Wrong poster 03

Movie / 2012 / Comedy

Wrong

Why this pick

Another laconic Dupieux universe where everyday life quietly slips into surreal logic, driven by dry timing, oddball encounters, and an intentionally unhurried comic rhythm.

Smoking Causes Coughing poster 04

Movie / 2022 / Comedy / Fantasy / Horror

Smoking Causes Coughing

Why this pick

A deliberately silly team comedy that shares Mandibules’ affectionate stupidity, abrupt absurdity, and straight-faced treatment of wildly ridiculous situations.

Keep an Eye Out poster 05

Movie / 2018 / Comedy

Keep an Eye Out

Why this pick

A contained, dialogue-led absurdist comedy whose escalating bureaucratic nonsense and poker-faced performances deliver the same playful disruption of ordinary logic.
