Teachers in a rural school, happy couple Fiona and Dom have a common passion: Latin Dancing. One night, after a glorious dance competition, they have a car accident and see their lives turn upside down. Rumba or how optimism and humour can overcome fatality!

Peaks in its first few minutes (an exquisitely weird English lesson for French students; a rubber-limbed, faultlessly-choreographed comic rumba), and that's never good. But they are such good minutes that I never really even thought about giving up on the film, even when it hit some slower patches (the only one of Abel & Gordon's films that I think noticeably drags, even at just 77 minutes). Terrifically colorful overall, and the director/actors' commitment to silent film clowning really comes into its own here, improving on the duo's already great Iceberg.

Französische Komödien sind mir oft zu übertrieben spleenig und aufgesetzt. Und auch bei Rumba wirkt viel wie die überlange Sketch-Aneinanderreihung eines Comedy-Duos. Aber sobald etwas bitter-böses Drama in diese künstliche Studiowelt kommt, kann ich doch wieder leicht mitschmunzeln ┐(‘～` )┌
Was Wes Anderson mit skurrilen Typen, Melancholie, Tragikomik und der speziellen Ästhetik aus Formen und Farben bei mir eigentlich immer gut schafft, wird hier zur besagten Nummernrevue die sich zu oft auf Wiederholungen, 'in-die-Länge-ziehen' und teils peinlichen Körper-Slapstick verlässt.
Die lateinamerikanischen Tanzeinlagen sind in Sachen Hüftschwung allerdings immer sehr einnehmend, richtig fantasievoll und gut in die Geschichte eingebettet.
Romantisch und bunt-lustige Spielzeugwelt, die am meisten mit flachem Slapstick und sich ankündigenden Pointen zu kämpfen hat.

Refreshingly funny with a whole lotta heart, and some fabulous dancing. As colorful as the poster.
Dom and Fiona (Dominique Abel and Fiona Gordon) are living their best life. At home, at work, at play, they're in perfect sync. A darling couple. Dom teaches P.E. at a local school; Fiona teaches English. In their free time, they dance the rumba... competitively. And they're real good too. But one night, on their way home from a contest victory, disaster strikes, and the couple's idyll is irrevocably shattered.
For its first 15 minutes, while the good times roll, Rumba is an absolute delight. Abel and Gordon are hugely gifted physical comedians (both have circus backgrounds) and together with director/co-star, Bruno Romy, they craft some wonderfully imaginative bouts of stylised visual comedy. The flavour is a little less subtle…
pienso en esta película al menos 1 vez por mes.
solo me acuerdo que el me parecía muy asqueroso y sucio.
öylesine açtığım filmlerin beni mutlu etmesine bayılıyorum
Si Wes Anderson fuera francés y adicto a los sims hubiese hecho esta película.
Unabashedly channelling Tati, Rumba is a spritely dark comedy that, without dialogue, says "Hey, it's ok. You can be happy even as literally everything goes to shit."
Yes, Rumba goes to places dark enough to rip your heart out, but Rumba treads softly, coaxing you on, assuring you there's light at the end. Rumba is whimsical, daring to have hope in real tragedy.
The story follows a couple who love to dance together. (Though their first dance caused my wife to say, "No one dances like this. Ever. They are so weird.") Driving home after winning a competition, they swerve to avoid a man attempting suicide (his failed attempts to be hit by a train or passing cars being one…
i don't think i've ever fallen quite so much in love with a film in years... a beautiful, beautiful film - very much in the vein of tati but with a more lyrical bent at times... it's genuinely sweet as well as belly laugh brilliant. i want to watch it all over again IMMEDIATELY, that's how much i unreservedly love this film....
dogdgumdan beri her teyzemlere gidişimde izledigim ivin bag kurdugum o film izledigim zamanların yarısında okuma yazma bilmedigim icin filmin contextini ellinci izleyişimde falan anlayabilmiştim kimse de cevirmiodu alt yazıları da okumuyodu…
Está película la vi durante todo el verano del 2017 en la casa de un amigo de mi papá y hace como un año me acordé de la peli y no la podía encontrar 1.5/5⭐
nono lo que nos costó encontrar este peliculón (según yo me acuerdo)
