Reviews
" A total of slightly fermented mixture of intelligent wit and dumb faxing, biting humor and hijinx primitive, cryptic satire and coarse slapstick. For judges of taste a red flag, for lovers of, black humor 'is a treasure trove for historians satire an important document. "
Besides the fact that it was no new sketches, but excerpts of Flying Circus, the film was criticized in particular that the humor is very British and therefore not accessible to everyone.
" Some of thesis things strike some people as funny; others do not. And so the audience is curiously frustrated. It's strange to find yourself laughing When everyone else is silent, and strange When everyone laughs and you do not get the joke. "
"Some people do not find some of it funny, others. And so the audience is frustrated strange. It's strange when you laugh even while all others are silent, and it is strange if all the other people laugh while you do not understand the joke itself. "
