A Pygmy in the Bathtub

About This Movie

A Pygmy in the Bathtub is this curious blend of absurdity and introspection. You have Nathalie, who stumbles upon a man claiming to be a pygmy right in her own home. The atmosphere, while set in the mundane space of her bathroom, becomes strangely intimate and surreal as their dialogue unfolds. The pacing is leisurely, allowing the viewer to sink into the poetic exchanges that blend humor with existential musings. The performances capture a unique dynamic, with the pygmy's whimsical yet profound vocabulary pulling Nathalie—and the audience—into a contemplative journey. It’s really about connection and the strange ways we find it, wrapped in an unconventional package that lingers in your mind long after the credits roll.

This film is somewhat of a rarity, not widely circulated but intriguing for those seeking the unconventional. It has seen limited home video releases, making original copies a bit hard to find. Collector interest seems to stem from its odd narrative and the unique dynamic between the characters, appealing to those who appreciate films that challenge traditional storytelling.
