Sheep

About This Movie

So, 'Sheep' from 1960, it’s a curious little comedy that teeters on the edge of absurdity. Fernand is such a relatable character, a simple clerk just trying to get through the day, but he gets roped into this wild scenario involving organized crime. The pacing is a bit uneven, which can be charming in its own right, and there's this underlying tension that keeps you guessing—how will he outsmart his captor? The performances have this light-heartedness, but there’s an undercurrent of dread—definitely not your typical comedy. Not too many films like this in the canon, which makes it a fascinating watch for those who appreciate the quirky side of cinema.

Finding 'Sheep' on any format is a challenge due to its limited release and obscure status. It was mostly circulated in black and white, and while some prints do exist, they aren’t easy to come by. Collector interest seems to grow slowly, partly due to its unique premise and the almost forgotten charm of its era. It's a gem for those who appreciate comedic narratives with a twist and the oddities of early 60s cinema.
