Warning: The film presented here, frankly rubbish, may shock sensitive souls and should therefore be reserved for a very informed public.
Long before the pharaonic adventures of The Lord of the Rings, New Zealander Peter Jackson was, to put it mildly, a no-nonsense filmmaker. With the horror films Bad Taste and Braindead, but also the completely different genre, the incredible puppet film Les Feebles.
You don’t know Les Feebles, the apocalyptic version The Muppet Show, a tasteless little summit in which the New Zealand director gives himself absolutely everything without any restrictions? So we must approach these aliens without further delay!
Hitting theaters in 1991, Les Feebles tells the story of a music hall troupe of puppets preparing for an evening performance. Tensions rise as the show will be filmed by a major TV channel.
Ah, yes, let’s be specific, it still has its meaning that in this army they rub shoulders with, among others, a pornographic rat director, a fly journalist, a drug-addicted Vietnam veteran and other very strange characters… the whole program. !
Shot in Wellington for a modest $750,000, too “home made” The Feebles was born out of the frustration Peter Jackson felt after he couldn’t get the project off the ground wise (which will eventually see the light of day a little later). A satire of the showbiz industry, the film, Don’t Be Afraid of Words, is frankly stunning.
Because Feebles has filth, gore, sex, vulgarity, depravity, black humor, grossness… Be warned: you’re going to have your share of bad taste here. Hilarious, this genuinely daring comedy is unlike anything else, goes too far, and has a sleazy edge that Jackson himself would have wanted, making it genuinely endearing. Try the experience!
Have you noticed the Lord of the Rings cameos?
