Thank You, Doctor Rey

2004 · 91 min Comedy
5.0 / 10 · TMDB

A gay young man is recruited into an illicit love triangle to watch a much older man’s sexual liaison, but ends up witnessing what turns out to be his murder. The next day the young man's opera diva mother informs him that his estranged father has been in Paris... until the previous night when he was murdered. Seeking help with a psychiatrist, the young man comes across an eccentric actress who has come totally unhinged by the death of that psychiatrist, the infamous Docteur Rey. At first mistaking her for the doctor, the young man embarks on a madcap mystery, reminiscent of an Agatha Christie novel, with Paris as the backdrop.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs a light detective framework, relying on the traditions of farce and theater of the absurd. It uses Paris as a picturesque, playful backdrop where every character is an eccentric puppet in the hands of the script.

Those who tire of heavy dramas will find a cheerful cascade of ridiculous situations, disguises, and comic misunderstandings, where murder is merely a pretext for a grotesque celebration of eccentricity. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Andrew Litvack
