Sorry, we can't find any suggestions at the moment.
Once upon a time, during WWII, somewhere in Nazi occupied Romania, a night of comic misadventures ensues when a boy discovers a dead soldier. The German authorities demand that the perpetrator must be identified or the town leaders will be shot the following morning. In their desperation, led by Father Johanis (Harvey Keitel), their salvation seems to lie in convincing the town "fool", Ipu (Gérard Depardieu), to agree to confess, and save them all with his sacrifice. The comedy and darker sides of human nature race toward the deadline where one cannot help but wonder who, in fact, is the actual "fool"?
Leave your thoughts about A Farewell to Fools.
| Shockya.comBrent SimonAn extremely low-boil wartime farce, content to wring quiet smiles and silent laughs, that more or less works as a sort of lightly affected, darkly comedic parable. |
| L.A. WeeklyMichael NordineThat loneliest of creatures: the comedy that inspires almost no laughs. |
| Tribune News ServiceRoger MooreIt’s good to see Depardieu in an English-speaking role again, but he can only carry A Farewell to Fools so far by himself, especially when he never commits to “simple” heart and soul. |
| User ReviewKristina KI couldn't understand the movie begin to end because each scenes seemed to be patchy. For instance, nothing happened after the boy hid German's motorcycle. Who killed the German? Why he tried to suicide after stop the war? ... I have many question, but they don't seem to solve even if I watch the movie again. On the whole, there weren't any surprised in the movie. |
