It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World (1963)

Time did not make it better

[3/10 · 9 July 2021]

Born in 73, I tried to show this after seing the trailer to my children (14 and 10), with whom I saw a hundred of great film during pandemic.

Some family feelings

• humour isn't universal: being French and Canadian, we cannot find one single US comedy that makes us laugh.

• humour ages, and ages badly

• humour needs rhythm: this movie is long, slow, gags are repeated several times to make sure every body understands.

If you like Herbie movies. You'll probably like this one.

I don't.

King of the Airways (1994)

Visionary but almost embarrassing

Obviously, writing about reality shows at this time was really ahead of everybody.

But the lack of money can be seen in each and every picture.

And the way actors are directed is always on the edge between ironic and amateurish..... A curiosity, to be laughed on the first degree, second or third and a half, depending on your mood and your remembrance of the awkward 90's style.....
