"An extravagant and highly comic morality play ... Phillipe De Brocca's parable is a funny and touching experience." - Vincent Canby, THE NEW YORK TIMES

"One of the greatest 'sleepers' of all time ... became one of the biggest cult hits of the '70s ... full of fairy tale atmosphere and carnival energy." - TIME OUT LONDON

"For all its exuberance and madcap silliness, this is a startlingly effective anti-war film." - FILMS DE FRANCE.COM

One of the most popular foreign films of all time, KING OF HEARTS became one of the biggest midnight cult films of the early 1970s when, after flopping during its initial mainstream release, it was re-released to U.S. arthouse cinemas in college towns, playing continuously to enthusiastic audiences in some theaters for over five years! 

Directed by French filmmaker Phillipe de Broca (That Man from Rio), KING OF HEARTS became a cinematic touchstone of the late 1960s, when it was seen as a satirical antiwar allegory for a world in which madness seemed to reign.

KING OF HEARTS is an absurd, freewheeling and tenderhearted fable that still speaks to the importance of maintaining a little healthy "insanity."
