You Are a Widow, Sir

About This Movie

You Are a Widow, Sir is this oddball blend of comedy and sci-fi that leans heavily into absurdity. The premise itself is a wild ride; a soldier’s accidental dismemberment of a royal cousin leads the king to deactivate his army, which stirs up chaos among the generals. The pacing is a bit uneven, but it adds to that surreal feel. What really stands out are the practical effects used to create the assassin with the charmingly bizarre twist of having the likeness of actress Evelina Keleti combined with the mind of a psychotic killer. This mix of humor and dark themes, plus some notable performances from the cast, gives it a distinct flavor that you'd be hard-pressed to find elsewhere.

You Are a Widow, Sir is a rare find in the collector circuit, with limited home video releases over the years, making it quite sought after. It was released on VHS in the 90s, but DVD and Blu-ray options are virtually non-existent, which adds to its allure among genre enthusiasts. The quirky blend of comedy and sci-fi, along with its unique narrative style, keeps it interesting for collectors who appreciate offbeat cinema.
