Rhinoceros
October 30, 2009 - 12:41 pm
I had read about some of Eugene Ionesco drama and love Gene Wilder, so do not think I can go far wrong. Appearing as if written by a mad genius, this film is irony at its most outlandish and useless overstatedness of bourgeois mores.
A Marxist critique of false consciousness and middle-class conformity symbolized 
by the epidemic that makes people believe everyone is turning into rhinoceroses. Unfortunately, while I laughed uncontrollably during the first half, the film was at least 45 minutes too long. It was not only the diversity necessary to bring humor to the end and the repeatability is numbed?
Was that intentional?
