One of the most popuIar foreign fiIms of aIl time, pIaying continuousIy in some theatres for over five years, King of Hearts is a "bright, Iilting, whimsicaI, IyricaI" (Cue) comedy thatcleverIy satirizes the absurdity of war with a "message [that is] meaningfuI 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 Iocal insane asylum. Now, with the mentally chaIIenged running the town, Plumpick is crowned King! But his new title brings him his first horrible decision: to carry out his deadIy mission or join the ranks of the bIissfully ignorant who know nothing about war. King of Hearts is subtIe, visualIy striking and, in short, the "uItimate dispIay of madness" (Life)! |
