SMOKING CAUSES COUGHING: Don’t Miss The U.S. Trailer For Quentin Dupieux’s New Sci-Fi Space Oddity

Standout film favorite Quentin Dupieux has been on our festival radar for sometime now and his latest is finally in toe with zany sci-fi adventure, Smoking Causes Coughing. That means sassy puppet characters, retro heroics, exploding monsters, innuendo and much more now offered in the delightful new trailer ahead of the film’s theatrical and digital release on March 31 from Magnet Releasing.

A wildly inventive new comedy from Quentin Dupieux (MANDIBLES, RUBBER), SMOKING CAUSES COUGHING 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.
