Surrealism in post-war France
Voyage Surprise is the funniest and surprising trip of a circumstances sampled group of poetic and comic characters in the post-war France. Each character is rich, each actor just perfect. Every word, every sentence (by Jacques Prevert) might be kept in an anthology. Who didn"t leave Fleurville aboard Rossinante, who never visited the SOS Hurricane bedroom in the former Verdeau"s whorehouse, who never performed Latude"s Escapes in the Palavas-les-Flots" casino, misses a wonderful part of the french humor, wit and poetry. I probably never saw a film with so many scenes to remember and treasure. In fact, I think I saw it more than 15 times along the last 30 years, and I would see it again with delight.
