The Dress (1996) is a curious blend of comedy and drama, showcasing the peculiar life of a summer dress and how it affects everyone around it. There's this train conductor, played by van Warmerdam himself, who ties the narrative together in a way that's both whimsical and oddly poignant. The dress, almost like a character itself, acts as a catalyst for a series of events that can swing from hilarious to downright tragic in no time. The pacing is a bit off-kilter but that just adds to its charm. It’s a film that feels like a quirky slice of life, really capturing those unexpected moments that life throws at you. The practical effects aren’t flashy, but they serve the story well, giving a grounded feel to the absurdity.
