Le Vertige: Cannes Unveils Absurdist Animated Film of Low-Poly Simulation

Discover Le Vertige, Quentin Dupieux's animated debut, where a low-poly man named Jacques navigates a seemingly simulated world reminiscent of '90s CD-ROM games. As Jacques tries to convince his friends of their video game reality, the film satirizes the pursuit of realism in CGI. Premiered at Cannes, Le Vertige blends absurdity with commentary on modern technology.
