Fun slice of unreality from van Warmerdam. Great performances from a small cast. I think that's part of the appeal to me, it doesn't feel stagey, but it's a dialogue heavy low key film with a lot of back and forth.

I think i might have jumped the gun a little on van Warmerdam. Apart from Abel, none of these movies are really anything that special. Not bad either, but basically like Haneke's cynical austerity toned-down and tempered with Solondz' "comedic" misanthropy, which is fine, but whatever. This one barely even seems like a comedy most of the time, though sure i guess it's sort of droll...
