The Charlots Return

About This Movie

So, The Charlots Return is an interesting little comedy from '92. It delves into the life of Antonio, who comes back to Portugal after a decade. The dynamics with his French wife, who transforms into quite the character, really shape the film's atmosphere.

It does have some solid comedic moments, especially when she finds him with the neighbor and the whole bonking-on-the-head scene.
