Alex van Warmerdam Fest: Little Tony


1998 comedy

Rating: 15/20

Plot: A woman hires a tutor to help her dimwitted farmer husband learn how to read.

I resisted watching this movie because of its poster.

Yet another strangely-architectured house in this one--there's a running maybe-gag with these doors, and I'd really like to see a blueprint to see how some of these rooms work. I'd also like to know where there's a little window in the bathroom door.

This movie's subtly funny, that same kind of gnarled humor I've come to expect from Alex van Warmerdam. It moves with quiet absurdity, and there are enough shots of a goats to satisfy me--a cinephile who enjoys shots of goats. There's also a gnome.

I don't want to get into this anymore.
