With almost no lasting buzz and soft box office, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Made for fans of a well-timed joke and anyone who loves a strong drama. Best on a quiet night when you're in the mood to feel something. Same wavelength as Code 3.
- The mood
- Funny with heart.
- The pace
- Lets scenes breathe, at 17 min. Done before bedtime.
- What might put you off
- It's in another language, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Made in 1968: an older pace and style.
- Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.
Frank visits his friend Josef, who introduces him to his pedigree rabbits and his wife Mary. Frank is more interested in the slightly unsettling fact that Josef and Mary's garden fence is entirely made up of living people holding hands.
