anyone seen this one?
coming to Turner Classics... not many votes..they must not show this very often.
from the reviews, it sounds like a collection of 4 comedy shorts.
Finally had the chance to watch the DVD last night. Of the 4 short films, the third--which is the title piece--is the best: a really funny take on the frustrations of modern city life, the crowds, the noise, etc. Reminiscent of Chaplin's Modern Times in some respects. As with his other films, Etaix is at his best when he returns to the conventions of silent comedy, as he does here.
Each of the 4 shorts has a lot to recommend it, but that third one reaches a height of frantic comedy that the others don't.
