Movie: La Moustache
I flew back home to Toronto yesterday and got to use Air Canada's cool new in-seat entertainment systems, where you can choose whatever movie you want. Everybody gets their own little LCD screen. It's touch-sensitive, though the touch sensitivity isn't that good- I had to press volume-up like 100 times to get it to the right level.
I chose to watch this French movie "La Moustache."
It was a hilarious movie (but not a comedy). Basically, a guy cuts off his moustache and goes insane after asking his girlfriend what she thinks of his new "clean look", to which she responds that he never had a moustache in the first place. Who comes up with a plot like that? Seriously?
It's the kind of movie that just blows up in extremeness. I like those movies. :) It leads you wishing, wishing, wishing, that everything will be explained in the end. But of course, as artsy film makers are likely to do, they never tie up all the loose ends, and you are left figuring it out for yourself.
If I had to take a guess, none of the middle part movie is real. The main character, Marc, is just imagining what *might* happen if the people in his life really did insist he never had a moustache. But he never actually shaves his moustache until he's in China at the end.
Fun stuff... and recommended!
