Putsch en Herbe

About This Movie

Putsch en Herbe, a 2021 film, balances comedy with an undercurrent of drama, which is pretty unique for a movie set on Christmas Eve. The plot unfolds in a newspaper office during a coup attempt, creating an odd yet intriguing atmosphere. You can really feel the tension as the boss struggles to rally his staff, but the vibe is never too heavy. Instead, there's this strange blend of humor and melancholy, which makes you think about how farcical and serious life can be. The pacing is a bit slow but deliberate, allowing you to soak in the mood. Performances are solid, capturing that essence of desperation mixed with holiday cheer—or lack thereof. It’s definitely a quirky watch that lingers with you a bit after the credits roll.
