Short Comedy

Synopsis

During his acceptance speech for a lifetime achievement award, Nicolas Chauvin—a farmer-soldier, a veteran of the Revolutionary Army and the Napoleonic Wars, “father” of the chauvinism that bears his name—embarks on a monologue and recounts his life story.

MUBI's take

From maverick American artist Benjamin Crotty comes this utterly original short, gorgeously shot by 16mm cinematographer extraordinaire Sean Price Williams (Good Time, Listen Up Philip). Even at only 26 minutes, this film is clever, silly, hilarious, bizarre… and politically on point.
