Everybody Wants to Help Ernest (1991)
29 Dec 1991
Extremely funny, beautifully black & white photographed dutch movie about a man that suffers from amnesia after a failed suicide attempt. His parents see this as a opportunity to raise him again, and make him the man they always wanted him to be. If you like Alex van Warmerdam's movies you will absolutely love this. I've never seen anything like this, and i've seen a lot. It looks fantastic, the acting is strangely over the top, but believable, there are a lot of weird edits, the story is original and satisfying and the jokes are exquisite. On top of all that it's also a film that moves. A big fat 10!
