⭐ Featured Review

Weird, but certainly witty.
by aveilbrief2004-12-25

"Although the last commentator found the movie a bit too weird, I'm delighted that people in far-away Virginia have the possibility to enjoy such an obscure Dutch art-house movie. Long live globalization. As for the film, I heard it's a classic among cinéphiles in France and other countries, but I completely understand those who find it a bit too weird, like our friend from Virginia. Different places, different sorts of humour. But if you like Bunuel, it's worth the try. Cheers, Arnoud (Amsterdam)..."
