Like their earlier, even better 'L'Iceberg', this is an inventive throwback to silent films and physical comedies, directed, written and chiefly performed by a talented trio of circus trained clowns.
Complete with their trademark minimal dialogue and dark events that never keep the film from being light and funny ( the two main characters are in a car crash near the start; one loses a leg, the other his memory, but somehow it works being played for laughs).
This didn't work quite as well as 'L'Iceberg' for me – that had a more interesting, surreal plot to hang their routines on, and more of their bits rose to the level of truly inspired, but this is still a sweet, funny, good-hearted film that cheerfully refuses to play by modern rules.
