The Discord

About This Movie

So, 'The Discord' is this quirky French comedy from '78 directed by Claude Zidi, and it has a really unique premise. You've got Guillaume, this guy who invents a machine that cleans the air by sucking up dirt into balloons. It's almost absurdist in how it plays out, particularly when the Japanese businessmen come into the mix after a heavy dinner—there’s this chaotic energy that builds as his production struggles to keep up with their outrageous order. The pacing is a bit frenetic but it carries a light-hearted charm. Practical effects are used creatively here; the balloons have a whimsical quality that adds to the film's playful tone. The performances, especially from the leads, are quite engaging, bringing life to this offbeat narrative.
