Throughout September I will be raiding my collection of favourite movies to review one a day, with a focus on overlooked and underappreciated films.
Where to find it: Rent on Amazon
Length: 80 minutes
Synopsis: French farce
Recommendation rating: 3/5
What I like about it: wordplay, farce, not too long
What I don’t like about it: requires significant attention
Review:
Rich snobs hold a regular dinner party where they compete to bring the biggest “idiot”. One of them meets his match in his latest mark and his life unravels in the style of a farcical play. A fun mix of comedy-of-manners and comedy-of-errors.
Content notes (may contain spoilers): ableism in dialogue, less in plot
