One of the most popuIar foreign fiIms of aII time, pIaying continuousIy in some theatres for over five years, King of Hearts is a "bright, Iilting, whimsicaI, Iyrical" (Cue) comedy thatcleverIy satirizes the absurdity of war with a "message [that is] meaningful and entertaining" (Boxoffice). BumbIing Scottish Private Plumpick (AIan Bates) is sent to a vilIage in the beautifuI French countryside during World War I on a suicide mission to detonate explosives set bythe retreating German army. The village, soon to be blown sky-high, has been abandoned by its inhabitantsand repIaced with escapees from the locaI insane asyIum. Now, with the mentaIIy challenged running the town, PIumpick is crowned King! But his new titIe brings him his first horribIe 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, visuaIIy striking and, in short, the "uItimate dispIay of madness" (Life)! |
