Le Petomane: Parti avec le vent (2005)
Damn Funny!
IMO, this film hit me on the exact four levels of creativity & simplicity that I crave in my comedies. For the record; I am a huge fan of intellectual comedies (Monty Python), dry humor (anything by the Zucker brothers), dark humor (Fargo) and a dose of the crude, (Something About Mary, South Park, etc). What I found in this short film was a perfectly wonderful, intertwined collection of all four. Le Petomane is smart, dark, dry, and rough & ready all rolled up into one mass of hilarity (and, for the record, surprisingly & historically accurate hence the 'faux' moniker, "Le French Fartiste").
The production value was amazing and the piece never took itself too seriously which directly lent itself to its subtle yet extensive humor. This is one of those rare films that get better with each viewing as you pick up on the minute subtleties missed in earlier screenings. In layman's terms
I laughed my ass off and will continue to do so each time I watch!!!
