Featured review
I went into The Palace somewhat spooked by the negative reviews, and I am happy to report that this is definitely a peak Polanski. It is a wonderful comedy that holds well on repeated viewings. The ending could be stronger, true, but that's the only flaw I can see.
The Palace is Polanski's foray into decidedly Monty Python-esque territory. John Cleese's presence enhances this impression. The performances of all principals are very enjoyable, with Oliver Masucci, Joaquim de Almeida, and Mickey Rourke being particular standouts.
It is currently available on an excellent English-friendly (as far as the main feature is concerned) Italian Blu-ray.
Highly recommended.
