🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs a sharp satire of the upper class, relying on the classic wager plot as a magnifying glass. It explores the boredom and pretense of the wealthy, contrasting it with the servants' pragmatic game that exposes the fragility of social barriers.
Those who tire of straightforward comedies will find a cynical, often grotesque farce where luxury is just a backdrop for universal vanity. What lingers after viewing is the sense that the real class struggle happens in the bedroom. — MovieFinder Editorial
