Klaus Barbie, also known as the butcher of Lyon was implicated in 4,000 deaths and the deportation of 7,000 Jews from occupied France, before he inexplicably vanished. This Oscar winning documentary, from visionary director Marcel Ophuls, traces the 40-year hunt for Barbie, initiated by the same governments that would later hide him and protect his family.Read More »

Letterboxd Review by Voc_17 ★★★½
Chu Yen-Ping was Taiwan’s factory comedy filmmaker, he shat out films quickly with an extreme tonal whiplash between scenes of broad comedy, action and pathos, he is a junk food artist and it’s hard to make a case for him as being an effective filmmaker dramatically. However, I’m going to try and make a case for this film and by extension him because I kind of liked this movie a decent amount. Hsu Pu-Liao was a popular stage comic who Chu wanted to place within a Chaplin type narrative, although whole Chaplin’s tramp was very poor he was never as downright miserable as Hsu is in this. The film will go especially early on from a broad but amusing comic setpiece to the stronger dose of pathos possible within a single cut, it’s bizarre but after awhile I felt it kind of working.
