Charming, sweet throwback to silent films
19 April 2010
A charming, sweet, somewhat surreal throwback to silent films.

The three filmmakers are also all professional clowns, and about 85% of the film is without dialog.

Shot in a theatrical, low budget way, it recalls a smaller, less ambitious and philosophical Roy Andersson.

It made me laugh out loud a couple of times, and smile a good deal.

However, even at 84 minutes it did start to drag a bit by the end, and some of the bits started to wear thin.

None-the-less, a lovely, worthwhile experimental nod to Chaplin, Keaton, et al, if not quite on their level of genius. But then, who is?
