Just watched a film called Big Nothing. I had never heard of this film nor anything about it so my expectations were very low. My expectations were way too low it turns out.
I was immediately drawn into the plot. An ex-professor/writer ends up getting involved in a simple crime—or what should have been a simple crime—which goes terribly wrong. Very much in the vein of Fargo where a plain plan to put some cool cash into a couple of pockets transforms into a Shakespearean tragedy in terms of body count and a Shakespearean comedy in terms of sheer joy. In short, a true black comedy.
You don’t want to miss this one if you are a fan of dark comedies or a fan of film noir. Lightly disturbing and smirk ridden, this film is time well spent. I will be looking for more from Jean-Baptiste Andrea. Very promising.
