Review
User Comments
I saw this film when I was a resident of Belgium in the early sixties.
I found it to be a remarkable avant-garde movie, with the same
incoherent yet orderly humor found in Ionesco’s plays, an absurd story
full of noise and fury, in some Banana republic. In particular, I
enjoyed the performance of Daniel Emilfork (probably at his best in
this movie, with his haunting appearance and unforgettable, yet hard to
define, accent, in French), as well as Jacques Dufilho’s – both passed
away in recent years. Given my age at the time I also was impressed by
the advanced erotic dimension of the movie. I wish a DVD/video of
La Poupee would become available. I have been looking for one for
years, to no avail, yet I am sure there would be an audience for it.
