Here’s a nice little interview with Quentin Dupieux, the director of the movie “Wrong”. Alexis is mentioned in the article.
HeyUGuys: Where did you get the idea for Wrong? To me it had the appearance of being just like a dream. It had that kind of reasoning where things just happen and they happen for no reason.
Quentin: Yeah a dream is a good analogy. I’m trying to get the ideas from my subconscious without trying to control them. But then I have to create some kind of logic even if it’s kind of dreamy. You need some kind of logic or else people get bored within 20 minutes. So it’s a mix between random ideas and really precise things.
But there is still sort of a linear story to it.
That’s enough to make people wait til the end to see what happens. Between these random ideas there is of course this week plot of trying to find a dog and discovering what happened. I think that’s enough. My main goal was to put everyone in the audience in a strange position. Suddenly you have to work a little bit. You can watch the movie just for entertainment without trying to think about anything and it’s still fun.
Why is it called Wrong?
It just felt right. It’s quite catchy, and I think it’s a good title. It works with the movie in a way because there are a few beats where you can see “Oh yeah that’s wrong, and that’s wrong”. It’s just a fun title
How did you end up getting into film?
I started when I was very young. I was playing with video cameras at age 15, and I was trying to recreate some scenes of movies I was watching at the time. Then later around age 18 or 20, I needed music for my film so I bought synthesizers and started scoring my short films. Later I discovered Dance music and suddenly I was mamking music without the need for visuals.
