Fantastic Fest: Jacky in the Kingdom of Women (2014)

Fantastic Fest 2014
Screening #3

Now this is why people come to Fantastic Fest, to see unique and different films like this one.  This French dystopian/satire/absurd comedy was pretty awesome.  It's a twisted version of the Cinderalla story.  The gender roles are reversed in this kingdom but in a exaggerated way.  Oh, and everyone worships "the horsum," a little horse.  Lots of great comedic moments.  Had me going.  This would have been straight-A perfect but the actual ending moment brought it down just a tad bit.  Still loved it.  Pretty wild ride.  Everything is blasphemy here including eating carrots.  
Overall, give this movie lots of kudos for being different.  Great colors.  Good old time!
