Review of To Be or Not to Be (1942) by Ibraheem M — 16 Feb 2015
Not as funny as I hoped considering the talent involved. Perhaps the satire of stage ego is sharper than the satire of Nazism (both easy targets, but espec the latter!), this film (while wonderfully droll) has a foreboding/threatening vibe that belies the slapstick farcical elements.
That's not a bad thing, you know? Actually the film this MOST brought to mind was Inglourious Basterds!!! Both enjoyable and interesting, and definitely worth another look one day.
