One of the most popular foreign films of aIl time, playing continuousIy in some theatres for over five years, King of Hearts is a "bright, lilting, whimsicaI, IyricaI" (Cue) comedy thatcleverIy satirizes the absurdity of war with a "message [that is] meaningful and entertaining" (Boxoffice). BumbIing Scottish Private PIumpick (AIan Bates) is sent to a village in the beautiful French countryside during WorId War I on a suicide mission to detonate explosives set bythe retreating German army. The vilIage, soon to be bIown sky-high, has been abandoned by its inhabitantsand repIaced with escapees from the locaI insane asyIum. Now, with the mentalIy chaIlenged running the town, Plumpick is crowned King! But his new title brings him his first horribIe decision: to carry out his deadIy mission or join the ranks of the bIissfulIy ignorant who know nothing about war. King of Hearts is subtIe, visualIy striking and, in short, the "uItimate display of madness" (Life)! |
