Reader Reviews
I've been looking for a good clean version of this film for many years, having spent many blissful & lucky summer hours at the old Thalia movie theater in NYC devouring the great French films of the 1930s. Now at last the treasure has arrived. Three of the giants of the golden age of French film are present in this film: Jouvet, Simon & Barrault, masters of farce, tragedy, voice, movement, gesture & innuendo. Drôle de Drame is a cornucopia of hilarious moments: Michel Simon catching flies & tenderly feeding them to his precious plants; Simon tripping with drunken blitheness down a flight of stairs. Jouvet careening from unctuous righteousness to lasciviousness to extreme paranoia. Barrault's ethereal & other-worldly & highly moral serial killer / poetic lover. Drôle de Drame is a fusion of classic French farce & theater of the absurd. One of my favorite scenes is the one in which the Chinese hoodlums determinedly & methodically mug a series of slumming drunks in order to collect their boutonnieres for a lover's bouquet. My next favorite is the kitchen enhusiastically overflowing with beautiful dadaist milk bottles delivered by a love-struck milkman in a surrealist costume. This was an early effort by Jacques Prévert & Marcel Carné who respectively wrote & directed the masterpiece, Children of Paradise. It's not a satire of British manners or mores at all, save perhaps for the more imagination deprived. It's a comedy of the human condition, a link in a wonderful chain of offbeat French films from Le Million to Boudu to Delicatessen & Amélie. Now, how about a set of DVDs of Marius, Fanny & César. Please someone?
