Fly Me the French Way

About This Movie

'Fly Me the French Way' is one of those quirky 70s flicks that blends comedy, drama, and a touch of thriller in a rather unorthodox manner. The film's premise is already intriguing: Valerie, tasked with house-sitting, gets tangled with a bizarre sex cult that ups the ante quickly. The atmosphere is charged with a mix of humor and tension, creating a unique pacing that keeps you guessing. It’s not just about the plot twists; there's a curious exploration of relationships and identity woven throughout. The performances, especially during the cult scenes, carry a certain edgy charm that feels distinctly French, adding layers to the characters that you don’t usually see in American cinema of the time.

'Fly Me the French Way' remains relatively obscure in the collector's circuit, with few home video releases over the years, making any quality prints quite sought after. While not mainstream, the film’s idiosyncratic blend of genres offers something distinct for collectors looking for rarities. It's a film that might not get the attention it deserves, but those who appreciate its unconventional storytelling will find it a fascinating addition to their libraries.
