THE FAIRY
(NR) 93min
[in French with subtitles]
Apr 17 - 19, 5:30 and 7:30
Co-writing, directing and starring team of Australian-Canadian Fiona Gordon, Belgian Dominique Abel, and Frenchman Bruno Remy have made yet another (after The Iceberg and Rumba) inspired and colorfully comic romp. Set in Le Havre, a simple hotel clerk is gifted with three wishes from a disheveled woman who shows up declaring that she is a fairy. But he can only come up with two wishes at the time and she disappears before he can think of a third. So he goes in search of her. Filled with old-fashioned physical comedy, visual gags and sheer silliness, it's a nearly silent, very funny amusement.
