AVIDA from Gustave de Kervern and Benoît Delépine
Although I've seen this movie for the first time not too long ago, I think it changed my vision of comedies and my expectations with comedy movies for ever
Like few movies did in the past, for this one, it was like having gigantic hands coming out the screen and slapping my face A movie that Could make me say "what da f*ck am I watching??? It's craaaazyyy good!!!"
Avida is a one of the kind movie, very particular, sureal and absurd movie Although I think French people will know about that one, it's a good good tip for the dutch ones Watch it
Best artistic film i have seen in years. Incredibly connected to Buñuel/Dali's "An Andalusian Dog" (quoted few other Buñuel's films as well) brings completely fresh vision of surrealism. I saw this film together with a Hollywood actors agent who was completely shocked by the film considering it the act of crime. I had to be easy with comments cause it would make me a criminal as well. There is hilarious scene with Chabrol in the ZOO which rediscovers his tremendous, almost forgotten, acting talent. One of the highlights of the film is wonderful Velvet who makes mythical anti-Venus character so pure and powerful. So, "Avida" is such brilliantly made film, on best tracks of European film-making, which goes straight to film art history with no doubt. I consider Gustave De Kervern and Benoît Delépine saviors of European film art.
