Mauricio, mon amour

About This Movie

Mauricio, mon amour is quite the curious comedic piece from 1976, though the director's name seems to be lost to time. The film has this whimsical, almost absurdist tone that keeps you guessing, with a pacing that feels both leisurely and frantic at times. It dives into themes of romance and the absurdities of love, making for some laugh-out-loud moments. The performances are charmingly quirky, lending to that distinctive European flair. It’s not just about the laughs though; there’s this underlying current of existential musings that adds layers, which I find really intriguing. You get a sense that it may not appeal to everyone, but for those who dig this style, it’s a hidden gem.

Finding 'Mauricio, mon amour' can be a bit of a treasure hunt due to its obscurity. It was released in limited formats, and most collectors know it primarily from elusive VHS copies. There's a niche interest surrounding it, particularly among those who appreciate quirky European cinema from the 70s, but overall, it hasn’t been widely circulated, which makes it something of a rarity in collector circles.
