Poodle

About This Movie

So, 'Poodle' from 1979 is this quirky little comedy that captures a very specific kind of morbid humor. You’ve got Bernard and Eloisa, stuck in this dilapidated house, waiting anxiously for their Aunt Lina to kick the bucket so they can snatch up her fortune. The atmosphere is a mix of dark comedy and a sort of melancholic absurdity. It’s not polished, but that's part of its charm—the pacing feels off-kilter in a way that really accentuates their obsessive behaviors. The performances have this raw edge to them, and you can’t help but feel for these two in their twisted little world. It’s definitely one of those films that lingers in the back of your mind, a bit odd but intriguing in its own right.

Poodle has seen limited releases over the years, making it somewhat of a rarity in collector circles. Its quirks and offbeat humor have garnered a niche following, often leading to conversations about its distinct storytelling style. Original prints and VHS copies are particularly sought after, as they encapsulate the film's unique aesthetic and charm, appealing to those with a taste for the unconventional.
