Wow! - Merci La Vie review by CP Customer
It has to be said I cannot agree with CP write up to this film, primarily, I agree, because I don't understand it. It is a maelstrom of false beginnings and you find yourself back at the start after gleaming information enroute. So much is never satisfactory explained. Having said that I love this type of film. Imagine Salvor Dali on drugs, hold on tight and watch the film. For me,unusually there was no pee breaks so that is a good qualification in itself. Surrealism to blow your brains and enjoyable.
Que..? - Merci La Vie review by AJ
What in the hell was all that about... I can't say we didn't like it, I can't exactly say we did... dont agree with CP review about the aids narrative but not entirely clear where the film went. ... where did the Germans fit in? ...and what about those seagulls..
