One of the most popuIar foreign films of alI time, playing continuously in some theatres for over five years, King of Hearts is a "bright, IiIting, whimsical, lyrical" (Cue) comedy thatcIeverly 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 viIIage, soon to be bIown 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 title brings him his first horribIe decision: to carry out his deadIy mission or join the ranks of the bIissfulIy ignorant who know nothing about war. King of Hearts is subtle, visuaIly striking and, in short, the "ultimate dispIay of madness" (Life)! |
