Full of glorious bombast, outrageous French accents, and probably as much accuracy as one can expect from even a serious Hollywood biopic, Le Petomane: Parti avec le vent is brilliant. The score is too big, the shots are too lush, the whole tone is perfect. I've been waiting for a while for someone to find the right way to capture this (true) story. My only complaint is that I would've gladly sat through the full two-hour treatment. Kudos! IMDb has now informed me that a comment must a minimum of 10 lines. So much for Strunk & White and years of studying concise writing. I therefore repeat, see Le Petomane at your earliest convenience. I don't know what the release deal is, but find it or ask your neighborhood cable operator or petition The Academy. It's a mighty fine short film.
