CHICAGO – Patrick McDonald of HollywoodChicago.com audio film review for the newly released “Smoking Causes Coughing,” an official selection of the Cannes Film Festival, and a ripe, necessary superhero genre parody. Currently in theaters, since March 31st.
This French film involves the Tobacco Force … five plasticine clad heroes who themselves look like the Power Rangers, and who fight evildoers who look like Japanese monsters from the 1950s. Their allies include an off-putting robot companion and their powers consist of spraying cancer causing agents found in cigarettes. And that’s not all. They also tell stories that become a short film within the film … all having nothing to do with the heroes themselves.
