Movie Connections:

References Napoléon (1927)

Caustically hilarious, one of the funniest I've seen in a long time.

I saw this movie at the Maui Film Festival, not expecting much. To my surprise, it was caustically hilarious, so biting and witty that I found myself laughing out loud over and over and marveling at the talent on display. People who don't like it may not get that kind of humor. It's Woody Allen with a sharper edge, with a more modern, hip sensibility. I see lots of movies, and rarely have I liked a comedy as much as this one. The acting is good, the writing crisp and the pace is fast. I'd recommend it highly.
