Oscar is one of the funniest films I've seen in years. It's a farcical gem directed by Édouard Molinaro (who directed the hilarious
La Cage aux Folles, which was – as you probably know – remade as
The Birdcage)
that would work just as well as a stage play – it has a unit set – but which Molinaro has made wonderfully cinematic. The farce feels like a kind of French Joe Orton, with similar morals (although less queer). This movie had me in hysterics. The lead actor, the brilliant Louis de Funès, just does bit after bit, and it is hilarious. I cannot recommend it enough if you need something just stupidly funny.
