| User ReviewUilleam MLoved it. Wonderful statement on the dangers of conformity. |
| User ReviewMichael Jincredible and thought provoking rendition of a great play. |
| User ReviewPilastr ATimely in jingoist times with timeless performances by the best of the best. What a time! |
| User ReviewLauren Hthis movie just gets better every time i watch it. the script is so bizarre and wonderful. gene wilder and zero mostel are amazing (as usual). it's sad that no one has ever heard of this movie. "i'm a human being, that's all. a human being. and that's what i'll be, till the end. I'LL NEVER GIVE IN!" |
| User ReviewTio BBrilliant adaptation of Ionesco's absurdist play. Zero Mostel and Gene Wilder are perfectly cast. |
| User ReviewBrittany LA comic masterpiece. Weird and wonderfully absurd, and featuring some of the best work from comedy legends Gene Wilder and Zero Mostel, as well as a top-notch supporting cast and a great score by Galt MacDermot. Director Tim O'Horgan does an excellent job keeping the stage-bound material lively and cinematic. People really need to seek this one out, it deserves to be better known. |
| User ReviewLou XVery interesting movie, good themes, but it was probably a lot better as a play. Gene Wilder was great as always. |
| User ReviewAj VA very 70s theatre feel to this picture, it's somewhat experimental and thought provoking, but kinda weird at the same time. It has a lot of funny moments too, I liked it, it's different. |
| User ReviewJonathan SI never saw the play, but what a bizarre little movie. I mean this in the best possible sense of the word. This film is very odd. The writing is withholding, the direction is incomprehensible, and the cinematography is beyond confining...but that's what made me love it so. If you are looking for a Mel Brook's style follow up to the Producers...look elsewhere. This work is one of a kind, so check all of your expectations at the door and be sure to keep an open mind to "the weird" because in this case it is absolutely wonderful. Although Rhinoceros left me somewhat frustrated and scratching my head in confusion, overall I can't deny just how funny this film really is. Seriously people, this forgotten gem is truly hilarious. |
| User ReviewBrian Sa great cinematic showcase of Ionesco's absurd genius. the play is easily one of the weirdest ever written, and this film not only maintains that spirit but also does a nice job making some sense out of it. an ideal reunion for Mostel and Wilder, although neither character is particularly captivating. in fact none of the characters are particularly captivating--it's just a VERY strange absurdist comedy/social commentary. it's enjoyable, but not for any concrete, laugh-out-loud reasons. |
