Farfallon

About This Movie

Farfallon is a curious blend of dark comedy and absurdity that manages to keep you on your toes. The storyline follows this hapless man who tries to off his unfaithful wife, winds up in prison, and then escapes to a convent. It’s not your typical revenge flick—there are nuns baking cookies while he's plotting his next move. The pacing bounces between frantic and farcical, which gives it this unique vibe. The performances bring a sort of quirky charm, despite the darker themes lurking beneath. What really sets it apart are those moments of unexpected humor woven into such a wild premise, making it a fascinating watch for those who appreciate the oddities of 70s cinema.

Farfallon has seen limited releases over the years, making it somewhat elusive for collectors. The film's original print is relatively scarce, with a few VHS copies floating around, but good luck finding a decent quality one. There’s definitely a niche interest given its unique premise and the period it was made in, which draws in those who gravitate towards offbeat and lesser-known titles from the 70s. It stands out in the catalog of comedy films, especially for its blend of dark themes and absurd humor.
