Abel, Gordon, Romy what a talented trio!

From the same people that did the funny and keen movie, The Iceberg---wow all I can say is that this is such a great and funny and fun movie.
A true new vision, and a new take on physical screen comedy.
Keaton and Tati for the 21st century, and with an edge, style, totally all their own.

The scene in which the wooden leg catches on fire is one of the most hilarious things I’ve seen in ages.

Anyway, as with The Iceberg, Fiona Gordon's acting is gold, as does Dominique Abel, and Bruno Romy. A truly talented, writing, directing, and acting trio!

It was great! Fiona's performance in that was amazing. I don’t know of any actress who is as gifted in physical cinematic comedy as her. Or I haven’t seen anyone. And I see lots of flims.

Did you see it? And if so, did you like it?

I didn´t see L´iceberg.
I knew Fiona and Dom in Rumba, then reading movies review found their first movie L´iceberg, but is not here in DVD.

I would fully recommend it. A little darker, but it has a bite that makes it lighter in the end in terms of laughs.

OK I´ll try to find it, but it´s no easy....!!

Thanks...!!

Are you all serious ?!

I've never seen such a empty, staged, artificial movie like this.

I gave it 2/10 , not 1 (awful) because of the dance scene in the beginning.

I think you were all watching a different film to me. There were odd moments that were priceless, but much of the film was self indulgent drivel. Thank heavens it was short!

For what my opinion counts, I thought it was good movie, if a little too dark at times. Great dancing, great acting, funny physical humor, a happy ending, and a short run time.
