🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs its comedy on the contrast between society's urge to 'fix' and the absurd consequences of that correction. It relies on the physical eccentricity and sight gags characteristic of early cinema.

What lingers after viewing is a playful satire of normalization, where each solution begets a new ridiculous problem. The finale offers a charmingly literal twist. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Jean Durand

With morning coffee, to embrace the silent era's playful absurdity.
