Led by the Nose

About This Movie

So, 'Led by the Nose' is a quirky little comedy from '84 that dives into the life of a guy who's been through the ringer with marriages—three times divorced, if I remember right. It's got this strange blend of humor and melancholy, as he tries to find solace in wealth instead of love. The pacing is a bit uneven at times, which kind of reflects the protagonist's chaotic life. I think what stands out is the rawness of the performances; there’s something oddly relatable about his struggles, even if the film doesn't dive deep. It captures a specific slice of the 80s vibe, with some practical effects that feel delightfully offbeat. It’s definitely not your run-of-the-mill comedy.
