Cici Berber

About This Movie

Cici Berber, from 1933, drips with that quirky charm typical of early comedies. It's a curious blend of slapstick and situational humor, though the exact plot eludes most of us—perhaps that's part of its charm. The pacing feels a bit off at times, but there's an endearing quality in its rough edges. The performances are a mixed bag, with some actors truly embracing the absurdity, while others seem lost in the moment. Practical effects, while not groundbreaking, add a layer of authenticity that you just don’t see in today’s digital age. It's definitely a film that invites discussion among collectors, perhaps for the sheer oddity of it all.

Cici Berber is quite scarce in the collector's market, with few known prints available. It has circulated in various formats over the decades, but finding a decent quality copy can be a challenge. Interest seems to fluctuate among collectors, often based on the film's peculiar reputation rather than its actual content. Those who appreciate the oddities of cinema history tend to seek it out, often sharing tales of how they stumbled upon it.
