Vertigious, by Quentin Dupieux | France | 2026 | 67′
Jacques goes to his best friend Bruno’s house to tell him some extremely important news: it turns out that all of humanity is living inside a simulation. Initially skeptical, Bruno begins to take the idea surprisingly seriously and starts looking for flaws (“bugs”) in reality. As paranoia and metaphysical debates take hold, the characters’ mundane daily lives begin to crumble into an existential delirium where nothing seems real anymore.
