The film follows Jacques as he heads to his friend Bruno’s to deliver earth-shattering news: the entire human race would be living in a simulation. From this premise, Le Vertige steps into the realm of animated comedy, exploring doubt, reality, and the gap between a monumental discovery and a conversation among loved ones.
With this project, Quentin Dupieux ventures into animated feature filmmaking after a string of live-action films defined by compact narratives, absurd devices and characters wrestling with fixed ideas. Cannes’ selection also places Le Vertige in a special context: Directors’ Fortnight 2026 has chosen the film as the closing work of its 58th edition.
The voice cast features Alain Chabat as Jacky, Jonathan Cohen as Bruno Moulin, Anaïs Demoustier in the roles of Fabienne and Claude, and Jean-Marie Winling as Christophe Bourgeois. With a tight runtime of 67 minutes, it’s a compact offering for a theatrical release.
