The films of France’s Quentin Dupieux are short and blissfully strange: Their subjects include a homicidal automobile tire (“Rubber,” 2010) and a fringed leather jacket with a God complex (“Deerskin,” 2019). They operate according to their own interior logic and they don’t care if you follow along, which makes them either maddeningly obtuse or good Dada fun, depending on your tastes. “Keep an Eye Out,” made before “Deerskin” but arriving now in a virtual screening at the Boston French Film Festival, the Brattle Theatre, and on demand, is Dupieux’s most pared-down effort yet a slapstick Kafkaesque comedy of bureaucracy and bloodshed.
