King of Hearts

I couldn't have been the only one rooting for the bomb

The clownery sometimes overtakes the message you guess they want to convey. Modern audiences might find the "lunatics" insensitive and too fake, but then again everyone is a parody in this anyway. I suppose it is more about the spectacle than anything. The sets are nice to look at and some of the antics like the "old" baron couple and the naive take on the whorehouse are charming

Em honra do centenário de Daniel Boulanger. De certa forma me fez lembrar de O Alienista do Machado de Assis por mostrar a "loucura" dos normais e a sensatez dos "loucos". Uma belíssima alegoria antibélica. BlurayRip VXT.

Such a beautiful film, one of my all-time favorites, a must-view for everyone.

Although unoriginal the premise of madmen being saner than the rest of the world during such a horrific war is a promising one, the movie unfortunately does little interesting with it. It's a bit too whimsical and its plot meanders. This probably holds the most value for fans of these kind of Belle epoque costumes.

Not-bad comedy about the joys of nonconformism. Too bad something like this is so nonauthentic

A beautiful, hilarious, and hart-rending look at war that has not been matched or equaled before or since. Completely unique.
