L’Affaire Schlumpf is an intriguing documentary that dives deep into the world of car collecting, specifically the infamous Schlumpf Collection in Mulhouse, France. The film has this almost somber yet captivating tone that really makes you ponder the obsession behind collecting. It’s paced thoughtfully, allowing you to soak in the visuals of these magnificent automobiles while also exploring the darker undercurrents of the collection’s history. The way they blend interviews with archival footage gives it a unique texture—almost like a time capsule of automotive artistry and greed. The absence of a known director adds a layer of mystery, making you feel as if you're uncovering a hidden gem within the documentary genre.
