About This Movie

Ça... c'est du sport is this quirky 1938 film that drifts into the realm of absurdity and dark comedy. Trapon, a rather ordinary bank clerk, finds himself entangled in a rather ridiculous scheme fueled by love and desperation. The pacing has this whimsical quality to it, almost like a stage play that’s been brought to life with some surprisingly effective practical effects for its time. The performances, especially Trapon's, carry this charming awkwardness that's hard to resist. The themes of love, moral ambiguity, and the lengths one might go for affection create a unique atmosphere that lingers, making it a fascinating watch, especially for fans of vintage cinema.

This film isn't super easy to track down, which adds to its intrigue for collectors. The scarcity of original prints can make it a bit of a treasure hunt, and there’s definitely a niche audience that appreciates its unique charm. Various formats have surfaced over the years, but finding a decent quality version remains a challenge, as well. So, if you stumble upon a copy, consider it a rare gem in the vast sea of classic cinema.
