    Excelent movie that questions reality and relationships. Do not look for the "meaning" of the mustache, just enjoy the mystery.

    Arresting and resonant; although I disagree with Stuart W., I loved his simile.

    This film was haunting and memorable. I can't wait to see it again.

  1. This narrative feature debut by Emmanuel Carrere, based on his own novel, is deliberately open-ended, but however one interprets the outcome, the film reminds us how fragile intimacy is.

    The big shave is the starting point for a clever, if somewhat too clever, film from French critic, novelist and documentarian Emmanuel Carrere. La Moustache could be clipped down to Franz Kafka-meets-Jerry Seinfeld, where a whole slew of absurd petite calamities befall our everyday hero, triggered by his trim.

    Viewers who like their conclusions tidy may rebel, but those who relish outstanding performances in the service of an intriguing idea will be entertained.
