So, 'Politenessman' from 1985 is quite the curious little comedy. It draws from a comic strip, which gives it this quirky edge. The plot centers around a dying millionaire trying to sort out his heir among a rather greedy bunch of relatives, his mistress, and an accountant. The chaos that ensuesâeveryone bickering, trying to get the upper handâis really something. You get this blend of farcical humor and a touch of dark absurdity. The pacing has its own rhythm, kind of like a chess game where every move feels exaggerated, but in a funny way. The performancesâwhile not groundbreakingâcarry a charm that makes the whole thing feel strangely engaging. Practical effects aren't really the highlight here, but the character dynamics sure are fascinating.
