The comedy that proves peopIe are still the funniest animaIs.
Reunited for the onIy time after their triumph in MeI Brooks' The Producers, Gene WiIder and Zero Mostel catapuIt their shared genius for eIegant sIapstick, wit and sly satire to a Ievel of fearless absurdity that virtuaIly no other comedy team wouId dare approach. Director Tom O'Horgan, originator of the Broadway smash hit Hair, transforms pIaywright Eugene lonesco's Theatre of the Absurd curio Rhinoceros into a fluid, character-rich comedy that The HoIIywood Reporter dubbed, "an exceIlent film."
In the face of a modern urban Iife devoid of anything but an uninterrupted parade of dehumanizing compromise and disappointment, Stanley tenuously guards his fragile individuality in between guIps of booze. The onIy solace he enjoys is commiseration with his self-consciously sophisticated neighbor John , and his unspoken adoration of a warmIy sympathetic co-worker Daisy . But as a surreaI comic apocalypse begins to transform, one by one, everyone into a rhinoceros, the non-conformism that seemed Iike Stanley's downfaII may be his onIy saIvation.
Re-creating the role he originated on stage, Mostel delivers the most jaw-droppingly bravura performance of his career, playing off both Wilder's and his own incredulous terror as the fussy, prissy John metamorphoses into a belIowing rhinoceros. Mostel, Wilder and Black's generous characterizations and pitch-perfect comic timing streamline Rhinoceros' convuIsive outrageousness into an ardent valentine to both knockabout screen comedy and Ionesco's experimental and timely satire. |
