The Aubergine Is Well Stuffed

About This Movie

So, 'The Aubergine Is Well Stuffed'... it's quite an oddball gem, really. The premise is simple on the surface—a meter maid in Paris—but the execution dives deep into slapstick chaos that keeps you chuckling. Cathy Duprey in that eye-catching outfit certainly steals the scenes, with Mika Barthel adding a nice comic foil. The film's pacing feels like a brisk walk through Montmartre, with the absurdity and charm of Parisian life woven throughout. It’s not just about laughs; it touches on themes of desire and authority in a refreshingly light way. The performances are endearing, and you can't help but love the spontaneity of it all.

This title has had a somewhat limited release history, with original pressings becoming quite scarce over time. It's not the most mainstream comedy, which adds to its collector appeal, as fans of obscure films tend to seek it out for its unique blend of humor and Parisian flair. There’s a charm in tracking down a nice VHS or even a DVD copy, as the film hasn’t been heavily circulated in more modern formats.
