Smoking Causes Coughing Update (2026)
Updated July 2026. Quentin Dupieux’s anthology comedy has held up as a cult favorite since its 2022 Cannes premiere and 2023 U.S. release, with Raphaël Quenard’s manic performance still frequently singled out by critics revisiting it. Dupieux hasn’t slowed down since — he followed the film with Yannick and Daaaaaali!, both released to strong reviews across 2023 and 2024, extending his run as one of French cinema’s most prolific and idiosyncratic writer-directors. Smoking Causes Coughing itself never got a sequel, remaining a standalone entry in Dupieux’s fast-growing catalog of high-concept comedies, which now spans more than a dozen features.
