"The Man Who Mistook His Wife For A Hat is a tour de force of cinema, a masterpiece in its own right. The performance by Emile Belcourt is brilliant, and he superbly portrays the emotional struggle of a man who has a hat for a wife. The gratuitous nudity by Lorraine Mills (hussy!) is perhaps a bit O.T.T, but at least the hat was good. If the film had a fault, its that is a little confusing at first, but pay attention and it soon becomes clear (like L.A Confidential). This film was underrated and criminally ignored at the box office. Here's hoping for a re-release!..."
