Poupiya

About This Movie

So, 'Poupiya' is an intriguing blend of comedy and surrealism. You’ve got Rachid, this retired colonel whose past is still lurking, and then there’s Djamel, a young guy who seems to just stumble into the chaos of the night. Their encounter is oddly whimsical, yet it’s loaded with tension as you sense the weight of Rachid’s history. The pacing feels like a slow burn - and I mean that in a good way - building up to those unexpected moments that really get you thinking. The atmosphere is thick with an odd charm, and the performances have this raw, authentic feel that makes it stand apart. It’s not your typical comedy; it’s got layers, you know?

Despite being a recent release, 'Poupiya' has started to garner attention among collectors. There seems to be a limited print run, which adds an interesting layer of scarcity to it. The film hasn't had a wide-reaching home media release yet, making any physical copies quite sought after. It’s intriguing to see how this odd little comedy might evolve in collector spaces as opinions on it develop over time.
