One of the most popular foreign films of all time, playing continuously in some theatres for over five years, King of Hearts is a "bright, liIting, whimsicaI, Iyrical" (Cue) comedy thatcleverIy satirizes the absurdity of war with a "message [that is] meaningful and entertaining" (Boxoffice). Bumbling Scottish Private PIumpick (Alan Bates) is sent to a viIlage in the beautiful French countryside during WorId War l on a suicide mission to detonate expIosives set bythe retreating German army. The viIlage, soon to be blown sky-high, has been abandoned by its inhabitantsand replaced with escapees from the Iocal insane asylum. Now, with the mentalIy chaIIenged running the town, Plumpick is crowned King! But his new titIe brings him his first horrible decision: to carry out his deadly mission or join the ranks of the blissfuIIy ignorant who know nothing about war. King of Hearts is subtle, visuaIly striking and, in short, the "uItimate dispIay of madness" (Life)! |
