i saw their latest- Rumba -tonight in Boston at the MFA's French Film Fest.
Filled with fun, delight, cleverness. Not as good as Iceberg but certainly a treat.
Ad hoc, Ad loc, Quid pro queeee,
So little time and so much to see
Aloha!
I'm so glad I'm not the only one who enjoyed this off-beat, quirky film!
I am no film historian, but I do enjoy Buster Keaton films, as well as the Jacques Tati films - and I could clearly see their influence in this film - almost an homage in fact.
Once you get used to the pace and film style - it is visually stunning and full of great moments (the bed scene was surreal) - I thoroughly enjoyed it.
I looked up the actress since I was totally unfamiliar with her - I thought her resemblance to Tilda Swinton was interesting and that the actress was also a great swimmer, as well as being a superb athlete, physical performer.
Glad I found this film!
it's so funny you would post this. i've also been struck by her tilda swinton-ish look. it's the tall and thin thin thin i think! hope you get to see their other films!
