Le magasin des suicides

Not to be confused with family viewing, The Suicide Shop is filled with politically incorrect humour throughout that goes against the expected, including death, depression and nudity. That said, it is done well with comedy and has a wonderful French soundtrack.

Those less accustomed to the wider range of animation in Europe may be left a bit baffled (or even insulted) by the narrative and design. There are many times that the references to suicide could be deemed offensive for those of a more sensitive nature. The animation is stylised and might not sit well with some. Equally there is something lacking in the ending that does not fit the tone instilled throughout.

The Suicide Shop is however unashamedly bold in its genre - it is funny, heartwarming and wonderfully grim at times. A great film to watch for something different and aesthetically entertaining. I do not know if there is an English dub, but I strongly recommend the french version.

Especially not the animation that might seem very low key to most (though that doesn't mean that a lot of work has been put behind the making of the movie). But the movie itself is really good. You think this is a one pun movie and it might feel like that to you. But you could also read a lot of social criticism into the movie.

Whatever you do, be vary that the movie is not politically correct in any way, shape or form. If that's not your cup of tea, then the humor will annoy you and make you hate the movie. Better stay away from it then. But if you are open to it, you will be delighted by some scenes. It still has some clichés it needs to serve and you will get where this is going, but it's still entertaining enough throughout

Fun movie, not a realistic representation of suicide at all (as should be obvious).

Managed to make me emotional, but not too much. In the end I would say it makes you think about your own life, but that can be me overflowing a little bit.

The songs along the movie are not masterpieces but along with the animation and the lyrics they were a pleasant surprise, comming from someone who can't stand musical movies.

The apocalypse is here. Everything was destroyed. Humans have destroyed all the natural resources. There's even a flower and is very polluted air. Laughing and joy is very unusual. People are depressed and chastisement life unfinished. Tvach family trying to serve people with a job are quite common. They have a shop full of supplies and even at this time advising suicide. Tvachha believe, for every taste and taste, there is a way out; Ropes and bullets and blade to a variety of deadly poison and infected plants. Everything in the shop is found suicide to end life. Day is going well until Allen is born ...

I guess it was supposed to be funny, but it isn't, i found it even a little boring. It's also very sarcastic, and in my opinion quite offending. Maybe there are some things you shouldn't make fun of, but if you do, you should do it with some respect. This movie makes a fool of suicide and depression, making it seem like some trivial little problem you can fix with a song and a kiss. I don't mean to be dull or petty, cause normally I'm not easily offended by some humor. The story is somewhat pointless, without moral or message. Besides the disturbing story, the picture is average, but the songs are poor. The story and the interactions are a bit childish, but don't get it wrong, it's not very recommendable for children. I was very disappointed, cause the concept seemed promising. I would like to get my time back...
