Mermaid: A Flippant Tale

About This Movie

So, 'Mermaid: A Flippant Tale' is one of those quirky finds from 1992, set on the beautiful Fuerteventura in the Canaries. It's a light drama that revolves around Chloë, who’s working on a video project for Health & Efficiency magazine. Her interactions with Marie Louise and Suzanne bring a quirky energy to the film. The mermaid element adds a whimsical touch, though it feels more like a fleeting glimpse rather than a central plot point. The performances have this laid-back vibe that matches the island atmosphere. The pacing is pretty mellow, reflecting the naturist themes, which makes it a bit of a meditative watch. Definitely has a unique niche in the drama genre, with a certain charm that’s hard to pin down.
