I only watched it for the goat

Of the few movies where Alain delon survives in the end it happens to be bc of a loophole where there’s 2 of him. Pretty fun. Put off watching this for a while bc it didn’t look all that interesting. Very zorro esque. Liked the libertine setting. Didn’t expect it to be so thematic w like symbolism identity and brotherhood and class and all but it’s not like it was anything profound tho there was some witty moments. Cinematography and production was surprisingly sublime for a mostly slapstick satire.

revolución francesa y no solo un alain delon luchando por el pueblo... sino DOS. Ni en mis sueños más idílicos.

I like to tell people that I'm learning French only because I want to be able to understand Alain Delon in his native language....😂🙃
*Never though it would be possible to fall in love twice with the same person in one movie....😍

Despite an interesting premise and plot, The Black Tulip ultimately falls into dreariness at the hands of dull action, overacting, and an over-stylized portrayal of the classic novel. Meant solely as a film to advance Alain Delon's career, it does exactly that and nothing more, threatening to bore the viewer with a lack of endeavors and actual drama. I think it was clever how Alain Delon played both twin brothers, an effort ahead of its time. The action scenes scattered throughout the movie were devoid of any real action and were extremely anticlimactic, depriving the film of what should have been its saving grace. The scene where the lieutenant was given the black tulip was completely overacted and almost cringe-worthy.
