Editorial Review: Description: One day, on a whim, Marc decides to shave off the mustache he’s worn all of his adult life. He waits patiently for his wife’s reaction, but neither she nor his friends seem to notice. Stranger still, when he finally tells them, they all insist he never had a mustache. Is Marc going mad? Is he the victim of some elaborate conspiracy? Or has something in the world’s order gone terribly awry? "an intriguing study of identity, marriage and madness" – Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer "La Moustache," the first feature by novelist Emmanuel Carrere, begins as a comedy, but grows darker and darker by the frame. It's like a Hitchcock thriller filtered through the mind of Austrian firebrand Michael Haneke, who gave us Caché (Hidden)." – V.A. Musetto, New York Post Average Rating:
 Rating:  - A Puzzle Without A SolutionPieces are missing in this puzzle. But the movie is more about the mind of one man. It is also about the nature of a relationship that falls apart. The viewer soon begins to question whether some perverse trick is being played by the wife on the husband, Marc, as Marc himself suspects. A paranoid conspiracy developes in Marc's mind. There is no resolution to the question of reality or exactly what is going on in Marc's mind. He begins to feel that he is going mad at the same time as he questions ... Read More Rating:  - Even the lead actress couldn't figure out this movieUnique beauty Emmanuelle Devos led me here (see Read My Lips to understand why), but 'La Moustache' is a hard movie to like despite another winning performance by this beguiling actress. While suspenseful, the movie is ultimately infuriating because like another recent French release, Cache (Hidden), not only is the viewer unable to figure it out, turns out the actors are unclear on the concept as well. Indeed, in the "Making Of" featurette included on the DVD, Ms. Devos literally shrugs her shoulders ... Read More Rating:  - Engrossing AND satisfying.I seem to be among an apparently small group of people who did not find the ending a huge disappointment. I don't think I expected for a moment that in the end everything would wrap itself up nicely and all would be revealed. Don't look so hard to find the answers; it is quite simple. Once he had let his beard grow in and his moustache returned, his life and love as he knew it before shaving the moustache returned. As soon as it was gone, reality as he knew it was gone. Once it returned, his reality caught ... Read More Rating:  - Annoying - another movie without an ending - how French!Here we go again! This begins as a paranoid thriller and ends up nothing but a tease. A man shaves off his moustache and no one notices. He can't convince them that he ever had one. Is is a plot by everyone in his life to drive him insane? We never find out. The movie ends very abruptly without ever explaining what is happening. A complete waste of two hours. The mystery is never solved. My guess is that the writer was too incompetent to come up with an ending. Don't waste your time! Rating: - Dull Skuggery or Deja Vu? Choissez-vous.She: This is either the most boring film of all time - or a work of genius. Your choice. I just saw it and I still have a weird feeling in the pit of my stomach. DO NOT SEE THIS FILM IF YOU TEND TO GET SEA-SICK. It's very watery; everything is sea-green, with a little red and orange thrown in to make a bloody point. The visuals are gorgeous, especially Vince Lindon's moss-colored velvet jacket. He: This movie played a game with my perceptions, especially of time. Things definitely weren't what they seemed. ...
