SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie

Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

Grimossfer Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

Salubfoto It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

Michael_Elliott Le concert de M. et Mme. Kabal (1963) ** 1/2 (out of 4) Entertaining, if rather minor, animated short from Walerian Borowczyk has Mr. Kabal trying to put on a piano show but his incredibly ugly and ultimately bizarre wife keeps messing everything up. Plot-wise there's really not too much going on here but if you're a fan of the director's rather bizarre shorts then you'll at least want to check this out. I thought the animation itself was rather good and there's no doubt that the director was able to bring a rather strange atmosphere to the picture. The wife character was certainly very memorable and you can just imagine how bitchy she is and you're certainly thankfully that you're not tied to her.

Horst in Translation (filmreviews@web.de) "Le concert de M. et Mme. Kabal" or "The Concert of Mr. and Mrs. Kabal" is a 6.5-minute animated short film from 1962, so this one is already 55 years old almost. It's one of the many award-winning works by Polish filmmaker Walerian Borowczyk and I must say I am a bit shocked that this one here is not even a work from his early career. He was already pretty prolific and experienced when this one came out. It's another example of how disappointing the 1960s were in terms of (animated) short films after the Golden Age of Animation in the previous decades. Here we have a married couple giving a concert, the title already tells you. The music is also okay to listen to, but you can also just listen to a record for that. Animation and story were really weak. I don't recommend the watch. Thumbs down.
