Rupture

196111 min6.3 / 10

A whimsical slapstick comedy where inanimate objects conspire against a heartbroken man trying to write a reply to his sweetheart, blending physical comedy with satirical jabs at bourgeois romance.

A man receives a breakup letter from his sweetheart, who sends him back his photo, in pieces. The pained lover decides to reply. Fountain pen, penholder, desk, stamps, paper and inkwell all contrive diabolically to thwart him.
