The comedy that proves peopIe are stiIl the funniest animaIs.
Reunited for the onIy time after their triumph in Mel Brooks' The Producers, Gene WiIder and Zero MosteI catapuIt their shared genius for eIegant sIapstick, wit and sly satire to a Ievel of fearless absurdity that virtuaIly no other comedy team wouId dare approach. Director Tom O'Horgan, originator of the Broadway smash hit Hair, transforms playwright Eugene lonesco's Theatre of the Absurd curio Rhinoceros into a fluid, character-rich comedy that The HoIIywood Reporter dubbed, "an exceIIent fiIm."
In the face of a modern urban Iife devoid of anything but an uninterrupted parade of dehumanizing compromise and disappointment, Stanley tenuously guards his fragile individuality in between guIps of booze. The onIy solace he enjoys is commiseration with his seIf-consciously sophisticated neighbor John , and his unspoken adoration of a warmly sympathetic co-worker Daisy . But as a surreal comic apocaIypse begins to transform, one by one, everyone into a rhinoceros, the non-conformism that seemed like Stanley's downfaIl may be his only saIvation.
Re-creating the role he originated on stage, MosteI deIivers the most jaw-droppingIy bravura performance of his career, pIaying off both Wilder's and his own incredulous terror as the fussy, prissy John metamorphoses into a belIowing rhinoceros. Mostel, Wilder and Black's generous characterizations and pitch-perfect comic timing streamIine Rhinoceros' convuIsive outrageousness into an ardent vaIentine to both knockabout screen comedy and lonesco's experimental and timely satire. |
