"A Superhero movie for idiots! One of the best films of the year." John Waters. The maestro of the weird is back Quentin Dupiuex (Rubber, Wrong) returns with a super hero tale. SMOKING CAUSES COUGHING, a wildly inventive new French comedy from Quentin Dupieux. The film, which had its world-premiere in Cannes’ Midnight section, follows the misadventures of a team of five superheroes known as the Tobacco Force - Benzene (Gilles Lellouche), Nicotine (Anaïs Demoustier), Methanol (Vincent Lacoste), Mercury (Jean-Pascal Zadi), and Ammonia (Oulaya Amamra).
After a devastating battle against a diabolical giant turtle, the Tobacco Force is sent on a mandatory week long retreat to strengthen their decaying group cohesion. Their sojourn goes wonderfully well until Lézardin, Emperor of Evil, decides to annihilate planet Earth.
Magnet Releasing will release SMOKING CAUSES COUGHING in theaters and on demand March 31, 2023
