About This Movie

En veux-tu, en voilà, the first part of the Jacques Toumoy trilogy, is this intriguing blend of whimsy and surrealism. The atmosphere is thick with a unique charm that pulls you in, almost dreamlike. The pacing feels offbeat yet intentional, creating a rhythm that keeps you guessing. There’s an eccentricity here that’s hard to pin down, with practical effects that add a layer of tactile authenticity. Performances are quirky but engaging, making the characters feel oddly relatable against the backdrop of the absurd. It’s distinctive for its willingness to embrace the bizarre without explanation, making it a curiosity worth exploring in the context of French cinema from this era.

This film often slips under the radar, with limited releases and scarce original prints making it a bit of a treasure hunt for collectors. Its unique style and place within the trilogy adds to its allure, but finding a good copy can be a challenge. Interest has been growing, especially among those who appreciate unconventional narratives and French cinema of the early '80s. As a collector, you might find it worth seeking out, especially if you’re drawn to films that defy typical genre classification.
