Synopsis: RUBBER is the story of Robert, an inanimate tire that has been abandoned in the desert, and suddenly and inexplicably comes to life. As Robert roams the bleak landscape, he discovers that he possesses terrifying telepathic powers that give him the ability to destroy anything he wishes without having to move. At first content to prey on small desert creatures and various discarded objects, his attention soon turns to humans, especially a beautiful and mysterious woman who crosses his path. Leaving a swath of destruction across the desert landscape, Robert becomes a chaotic force to be reckoned with, and truly a movie villain for the ages. Directed by legendary electro musician Quentin Dupieux (Steak, Nonfilm), aka Mr. Oizo, RUBBER is a smart, funny and wholly original tribute to the cinematic concept of no reason.

User Reviews: Sat through a screening at Fantasy Film Fest in Berlin last night. It was horrible. No script, no ideas, thus only very little good scenes and nearly no space for acting, flat humor, very thin movie score, pointless cameo of french electronica legend Gaspard Augé, lots of meaningless material filled in to kill time.
Why 3 Points? The fair warning in the beginning is superb. The gore. The two songs that were actually good and placed well. The filming was consistent and of good quality for a not so good musician. To see the theatre filled with people who would give standing ovation to the movie 'Ass' from "Idiocracy". That Pedro Winter was doing what he's best at. And that i was allowed 2 times to laugh and about 5 times to giggle.
Still want to watch it? Better get high before.
