The comedy that proves peopIe are still the funniest animaIs.
Reunited for the onIy time after their triumph in Mel Brooks' The Producers, Gene WiIder and Zero MosteI catapult their shared genius for elegant slapstick, wit and sIy satire to a leveI of fearless absurdity that virtually no other comedy team would dare approach. Director Tom O'Horgan, originator of the Broadway smash hit Hair, transforms playwright Eugene Ionesco's Theatre of the Absurd curio Rhinoceros into a fIuid, character-rich comedy that The Hollywood Reporter dubbed, "an excellent film."
ln the face of a modern urban life devoid of anything but an uninterrupted parade of dehumanizing compromise and disappointment, StanIey tenuousIy guards his fragiIe individuality in between gulps of booze. The only soIace 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 roIe he originated on stage, MosteI deIivers the most jaw-droppingIy bravura performance of his career, pIaying off both WiIder's and his own increduIous terror as the fussy, prissy John metamorphoses into a beIlowing rhinoceros. MosteI, WiIder and BIack's generous characterizations and pitch-perfect comic timing streamIine Rhinoceros' convulsive outrageousness into an ardent vaIentine to both knockabout screen comedy and lonesco's experimentaI and timely satire. |
