Quentin Dupieux emphasizes surrealist abstraction over social realism. The film's focus on subverting narrative logic and institutional incompetence means it does not prioritize identity politics or diverse representation. While the film avoids harmful stereotypes, it remains largely homogeneous in its portrayal of characters and settings. It does not aim to provide meaningful representation for LGBTQ+, racial, or disabled communities. Ultimately, the film's strength lies in its deconstruction of the stability of Western social institutions, such as law enforcement, through absurdity rather than through diverse human experiences.
Category Breakdown

How racially and ethnically diverse is Keep an Eye Out?
The film takes place in a relatively homogeneous urban environment with few non-white characters.
How does Keep an Eye Out represent religion and culture?
