Fans of “Idiocracy,” “1984” and, er, “Cinderella” should check out this satire set in a bizarro world where men are subservient to women. Written and directed by the French-Syrian cartoonist Riad Sattouf (“The Arab of the Future”), the movie imagines a military kingdom where polygamous women monopolize power and literacy, while their mates, led on leashes, cower beneath long robes. It is consistently, provocatively funny, all the way until a jaw-dropping ending. Rent or buy from Amazon Prime Video, Vudu or YouTube.
