Elisabeth Buffet: Obsolescence programmée is a curious blend of comedy that has an offbeat charm to it. The film unfolds in a whimsical yet somewhat satirical setting, poking fun at the absurdities of modern life and consumer culture. The pacing feels deliberately casual, allowing the humor to simmer rather than rush. While the director remains a mystery, the performances are refreshingly sincere, giving life to quirky characters that stick in your mind. Its practical effects, though minimal, add a tangible quality that enhances the quirky atmosphere. There's something distinctively French about its humor, often leaning into the absurd, which may not land for everyone but certainly makes it stand out among contemporary comedies.
