Brings me back, lots of fun

Well, its been a while since we've seen re-runs of classic chaplinesque black and white comedies on TV.. Just as well that someone thought of making a film with that style of visual comedy. Quite an amusing movie, a mute film character from the black and white comedies of the 1920's appears in a modern 21st century Portugal. Quite innovative for a Portuguese movie to have such special effects. George Felner's character reminds me a little of Laurel who was the skinny one in Laurel and Hardy, and Diogo Infante perhaps in this case is Hardy, the one who gets upset and angry with him. It was also good to see Canto e Castro, a great actor who now passed away before the film came out, but all the same, a nice part for him to play on a last appearance. Some jokes are quite intelligent and others a little silly, but all the same quite entertaining.
