To Be or Not to Be To Be or Not to Be

Ernst Lubitsch / USA / 1942 / 99 min / English

When it premiered, this comedy about Nazism, shot in 1942 and set in occupied Warsaw, was criticised by the outraged reviewers as tasteless, but today it is considered one of Lubitsch’s greatest masterpieces – a proof that, with humour, one can defy all forms of repression.

On 12 September 1919, a troop of some three hundred soldiers under the leadership of the flamboyant war-loving Italian poet Gabriele D’Annunzio swooped into the Northern-Adriatic port town of Fiume, now Rijeka, wanting to annex the city to Italy. Over the course of the next 16 months, during what is regarded as one of the most bizarre militant sieges of all time his official photography team captured over 10,000 images. A century later, Igor Bezinović orchestrates a direct-action history lesson focused on the siege and its modern-day implications.

A chillingly funny (or perhaps funny chilling) film about our mad times, something only Yorgos Lanthimos could make.
