A cult movie. French humor combined with British absurdity
It is a pity there are no subtitles, because it is a very funny movie. Most French people I know, if they have seen it once, they have seen it several times. It is played by the best French actors of the 1940s. But the biggest attraction of the movie is its absurdity. There is a milkman in love, filling the kitchen with hundreds of milk bottles, and a naked killer of butchers, and a bishop in plaid skirts, and a botanist giving flies to his favorite plants. This nonsensical story is told with impeccable logic. It is inspired by a novel by J S Clouston and written by the French poet Prevert. Some sentences of the movie have made it to the 21st century.
Wonderfu!
A wonderful movie for french-understanding people. A bunch of extraordinary actors with a scrumptious, poetic and humoristic text by Jacques Prevert.
