- Who'll love it
- Made for anyone who wants a laugh.
- The mood
- Light and funny.
- The pace
- Breezy, at 1 hr 30 min.
- What might put you off
- It's in French, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Made in 1974: an older pace and style.
Here we find a group of misfits who've given up on humanity and have decided to dwell below the pavement. The group has its own hierarchy, of course, and soon the conditions that drove them underground begin to manifest themselves without the influences of the Outside World.
