    I don't claim to have seen every entry from around the world, but it's hard to imagine five better than this deliciously offbeat comedy, as wildly inventive as anything Billy Wilder ever conceived.

    Headache inducing. It's as if the filmmakers couldn't decide whether this should be a political drama, a period piece, or a comedy, and so tried to mash all three together in the most jarring fashion imaginable. It just doesn't work.… Expand
