Description: The story of two singers/prostitutes that dream of a big house, 160kg former opera diva/wife of an ex-minister of Agriculture that was kidnapped, a police captain with a tapeworm, a rock band that want to become famous, an ex-police captain with a chiken egg under his armpit and many others intresting persons…
Review: It’s about two Pigalle hookers who call by themselves “love’s small nurses” and dream of building a home in the woodland because of their profits. It’s also about a police inspector whom talks philosophically of his connection to his tapeworm, a kidnapper who turns himself into an individual torch (I think) to make the police feel sorry, and a man who says cheerily of his wife’s kidnapping, “Females are so easily carried away.”
The movie is the work of Laszlo Szabo, the Hungarian actor-director—a filmmaker who hasn’t yet found how to recycle bad jokes into great people and just how to blend slapstick comedy with melodrama in the way of something like “Shoot the Piano Player.”
“Zig Zig” is chaotic. Information technology also forces Catherine Deneuve and Bernadette Lafont to make idiots of by themselves attempting at the same time to be funny and coming in contact with as the hookers, who also dance and sing in a Pigalle nightclub numbers that makes one feel embarrassed for them. That’s impolite film-making.”
