Coincoin and the Extra-Humans: Episode 1- Black Be Black
P’tit Quinquin, now become Coincoin, has grown. His love, Eve, has abandoned him for a girl, Corinne. He and his pal Fatso are still running around raising hell in their region where the inhabitants, in disguise, wander in and out of the parades put on by a nearby carnival. In a meadow, the two boys happen upon a curious magma that looks like it’s fallen from the sky. The indescribable Captain Van der Weyden, seconded by his faithful sidekick Carpentier, conducts the investigation. Meanwhile, new signs of extra-human activity pop up.
"Pruvost’s performance as Van Der Weyden once again binds everything together. He’s a captivating collection of physical ailments and bodily tics that feels like a combination of Jack Sparrow, Inspector Clouseau, and Charlie Chaplin – though such comparisons seem reductive when he, like the rest of this world, feels utterly unique."
"Coincoin’s parade of the nonsensical still possesses a delightful pageantry."
"Pruvost's performance reaches the heights of the great Peter Sellers. Coincoin is even better than the series that preceded it."
"There is much to enjoy in this deeply funny dissection of small-town oddness and the endlessly fascinating figures who populate it. Dumont offers audiences a confounding experience, but one that gets funnier and funnier with each passing moment."
