''La moustache'' is one of the most underrated non-genre European films ever. I was intrigued by reading the synopsis of the film which is this: a man shaves his mustache after a lot of years but nobody around him seems to acknowledge the fact, which slowly drives the main character Marc (an excellent performance by Vincent Lyndon) to the edge of sanity and self-doubt. What is really happening? Is it a conspiracy of his wife and friends in order to put him in an asylum or Marc is, in reality, a severely mentally unbalanced person? The movie offers no definite answer in the end and, even though many think that this is a flaw, in my opinion, this is the perfect ending to an ingenious story. Certainly, ''La moustache'' is not a film for everyone and it will mainly appeal to the admirers of Luis Buñuel cinema and the theatre of the absurd. If you are looking for a movie experience beyond Hollywoodian genre films, ''La moustache'' will prove to be a blasting experience.
