The verdict

Audiences rate it 6.0 out of 10 on TMDB across 49 votes — a mixed reception. It is not currently playing in Hong Kong cinemas. 67 minutes.

What it is about

When Jackie tells his friend Bruno that they might be living in a simulation, Bruno takes the idea surprisingly seriously. As he begins searching for glitches in reality, his ordinary day slowly starts to unravel.

 

1-hour Masterclass after the screening by the "Directors' Fortnight's Artistic Director Julien Rejl on 29 NOVEMBER at Broadway Cinematheque.

What to expect

Quentin Dupieux's 67-minute French animation plays once in Hong Kong, on 29 November 2026 at Broadway Cinematheque, as part of the French Cinepanorama programme. A friend's offhand remark that they might be in a simulation sends Bruno down a rabbit hole of looking for cracks in ordinary life. The voice cast includes Alain Chabat and Jonathan Cohen. The screening is followed by a 1-hour masterclass with Julien Rejl, Artistic Director of the Directors' Fortnight. In French with English subtitles. Certificate not listed. Audience score sits at 6.0 from 49 votes.
