An Absolutely Incredible Incident, or Count Cagliostro is a quirky blend of comedy and music that sits comfortably in the realm of TV movies from the late '80s. The libretto by Nikolai Kemarsky adds an interesting layer, adapted from A.N. Tolstoy's novel, providing a unique narrative twist. The whole production has this whimsical, almost surreal quality, not to mention the pacing, which feels both lively and a bit meandering, much like the characters themselves. The performances have this charming earnestness, and there’s a playful use of practical effects that gives it a delightful texture. It feels like a time capsule of its era, with that distinct mix of earnestness and absurdity that you just don’t see in modern films.
