About This Movie

So we have 'Comment se faire virer de l'hosto', a curious little comedy from '79 that dives into the absurd. The film follows this offbeat narrative where a man, fresh out of a psychiatric ward, concocts this ludicrous scheme of posing as Hitler's son to get back in. It's all very chaotic and darkly humorous, exploring themes of identity and madness. The pacing is quite erratic, which can be both disorienting and fascinating. The performances have a certain raw charm, capturing the essence of those who are on the fringe. You can’t help but be drawn into the film's peculiar atmosphere, which is both unsettling and comedic, making it a distinct entry in the realm of international cinema.

This film has seen limited availability over the years, making original prints and certain formats quite sought after among collectors. The VHS and DVD releases are not particularly abundant, which adds to its appeal for those who appreciate rarities in the comedy genre. There’s a certain allure to its unconventional storytelling and the way it approaches serious themes through a comedic lens that resonates with cinephiles.
