About This Movie

It's Not Me, It's Him (1980) is an adventurous romp that dances between comedy and absurdity. The film introduces us to Pierre Renard, who's mistaken for a famous writer, which leads to a whirlwind trip to Tunisia with the charming yet dubious Aldo Barazutti. The pacing feels a bit erratic at times, but it plays into the chaotic vibe of the narrative. The performances are distinctly quirky—Renard embodies a certain innocence while Barazutti’s character is both likable and frustrating. The practical effects are endearing, giving it a raw authenticity. Themes of mistaken identity and escapism bubble under the surface, making it a curious watch for those interested in international comedies of the era. It's got that weird charm.
