Synopsis
Straight out of Quentin Dupieux's lab, WRONG COPS immerses us in the absurd and seedy daily lives of a Californian police brigade. Set to the electronic music of MR OIZO, WRONG COPS is a comedic fresco where the destinies of cops with unhealthy and disturbed behaviors intertwine.

REVIEWS
«A film that not only breaks away from the beaten path but also carves new routes compared to Hollywood.»
Canard Enchainé
«Dupieux's talent goes beyond merely showcasing contemporary imagery; he manages to turn what seems like a film without stakes or purpose into a bold and stripped-down statement, a true manifesto of raw art.»
Cahiers du Cinéma
«After Steak, Rubber, and Wrong, Dupieux continues his exploration of absurdity. Los Angeles, in this regard, provides him with a fantastic field for investigation.»
