Zig Zig (1975)

Two cabaret performers (Catherine Deneuve, Bernadette Lafont) have a dream house they want to build but they can't afford it. So, to raise the money, they become prostitutes. Meanwhile, a retired opera singer (Georgette Anys), now married to a former government official is kidnapped. Written and directed by actor turned director Laszlo Szabo. A truly bizarre movie with eccentric characters. The film is part musical, part comedy, part crime movie, part romance and none of the parts meld into a coherent film. For most of its running time, it appears to be a light farce but the movie ends with death and murder. To its credit, it's never boring but it's a mess. An entertaining mess but a mess nonetheless. With Walter Chiari, Hubert Deschamps and Jean Pierre Kalfon.
