Editorial Reviews

Product Description

The award-winning La Puppe has charmed festival audiences nationwide. A hilarious parody and loving homage to Chris Marker's classic short "La Jetee" (1962), this film is a must-see for fans of the original and an equal delight for the uninitiated. Not to be missed is the tour-de-force performance given by MARTY, the patriarch of the French New Wave Plush-Toy movement and still one of the leading inanimate objects working in film today.

This product is manufactured on demand using DVD-R recordable media. Amazon.com's standard return policy will apply.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great parody, but with a limited market and at an expensive price, December 1, 2008

By	R. Barry Lyndon (Buffalo, NY) - See all my reviews

This review is from: La Puppe (DVD)

The movie is a great parody of the french film, La Jetee, which was the inspiration for 12 Monkeys, with Bruce Willis. Even if you have never seen La Jetee, you will recognize elements from 12 Monkeys in this parody.

However, a reminder for those who may have missed it above, this disc is merely a DVD-R burned disc, not a professionally-pressed DVD. It is the only way to get this film on DVD, but the disc may have shorter longevity than a "real" DVD.

As such, in my opinion it is slightly over-priced, but such is the cost of supporting an independent filmmaker who obviously spent some time and money making this. (Or supporting the company who financed the filmmaker and may now own the rights to the film).

Those who have seen the film know whether they need to own it on disc or not. Others may want to skip this or look for it on cable on the Independent Film Channel (IFC), where it airs sometimes.

Anyone who does not get that this is a parody won't get past first 2 minutes.
I got the joke, but only got past 5 minutes.
