Description

A removed from rim film where it is forgotten quickly that one deals with puppets! Indeed, the film is assembled as a whodunnit of most traditional but with the masterly key of Peter Jackson. This one exploits the shift between the form (" film of marionnettes" based on characters zoomorphic) and the violence of the matter (denunciation of through spectacle-business). The matter not dissimulated is to give nausea to the spectator (from where the title, which can mean " To meet the 'Feebles'" {name of the troop} or " To have the nausée" in English). It is a parody of the Muppet Show at the same time trash, crash landing and gore. Jackson with him even known as that this film was unhealthy, which makes its beauty.

Feebles were born when Peter Jackson considering his " project; Braindead" to fall to water. By frustration it was harnessed with its accomplices with, says it: " to show what really occurred in the slides between Peggy the cochonne and Kermitt the grenouille".
