Plein aux as

About This Movie

Plein aux as is a curious little film that weaves a story of identity and morality, where Flipotte, a burglar, adopts the life of Monsieur Pardigon. The film has this offbeat charm, with a tone that drifts between lightheartedness and deeper introspection about happiness and wealth. The pacing feels quite distinctive for its time, allowing moments for the audience to really absorb the absurdity of the situation. There's an interesting use of practical effects, especially in the scenes where Flipotte tries to navigate his new life. The performances are somewhat understated yet impactful, capturing a nuanced exploration of human desires and societal expectations.

Plein aux as is relatively scarce, with collectors often finding it in limited format releases. The film’s obscurity adds to its allure, as it’s not frequently discussed among the mainstream canon of early cinema. Not many copies exist, especially in good condition, making it an interesting piece for those focused on rarities or French cinema of the early 30s. Its unique themes and offbeat charm continue to pique the interest of niche collectors.
