Fallen 90's sitcom star Fabien, on a road trip to Paris, crosses pathes with Yoni, a young, romantic soldier with baggage of his own, along the way.Blonde Animals is a queer fish.
It's a surreal, whimsical, sort-of road trip movie, with questions about identity, loss, and grief at its core. It's regularly laugh out loud funny, with gags that hinge on memory (or lack of it), a decapitated head, and over-stimulated coprophiliacs (trust me: you really don't want to Google that).
Thomas Scimeca injects warmth and likability into the role of Fabien, stopping Blonde Animals becoming... too much. Things do drag a little towards the end, but perhaps only in light of the frenetic action in the first half.
Mad, madcap, daring and unhinged, Blonde Animals is a film with a lot of heart, and likely unlike anything you'll have seen before.
