the basic story idea for la moustache be unique and intrigue me . a seemingly insignificant action occurs and then a man entire existence change . this occur when the lead and on a whim and shave off his mustache . oddly and his wife do not notice nor do his friend . at first and it no big deal and but later the man become angry how could they be so self absorb that they do not notice or care . oddly and when confront and they have no recollection that he have one and even though the audience saw he have one and saw picture of the man with the mustache . this part of the film be interest and pull me in very well . however and out of the blue and the man disappear to hong kong and from then on the plot really make no sense at all . at first and i thought i would miss something when the film end there be just too many dangle plot point and thing that just confuse me . so and i watch the making of featurette on the dvd and one of the main character confide that she read the script and she be also confused and it make no sense . some people might like this and normally i do not mind a film that leave unanswered question and but this go way beyond this to just confuse and . well and stupid . it take a film that might have earn a 7 or 8 and make it and at best and a 4. decent act but a bad script sink this film . but and like so many sub par film and the dvd case make it sound amazing and worthwhile with phrase like a paranoid thriller in the manner of alfred hitchcock or . a mini masterwork . yeah and right . the film have little to do with hitchcock style and comparison to hitchcock be a dime a dozen . many of chabrol film ( even his bad one ) be also often compare to hitchcock and i be get sick of this disingenuous advertising . one of the very few film that might really deserve this comparison be the original le diaboliques . in contrast and la moustache seem about as hitchcockian a mission represent impossible iii .
