Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
A quirky, anarchic satire that sees factory worker Piccoli cracking up, turning his bedroom into an urban cave, enjoying incest with his sister, and preying on cops for dinner. Some hilarious moments depicting the absurdity of routine life, but the predictable, episodic plot, and the gimmick of using grunts rather than dialogue, wear too thin to sustain more than one viewing. Joyfully tasteless, nevertheless.Author: GA
