The chaotic finale of Mr. Bean's Holiday isn't just a send-up of film snobs, but a testament to slapstick as happy accident. catiecart digs into the underappreciated sequel's best scene:
“This film is for all of us who hunger for truth. For all of us who cry out in pain. For those whose souls yearn to sing.” – Carson ClayIf you want to see a film about the meaning of life according to the first quote, check out, the newest narcissistic work of art from Clay , shown to an immediately bored Cannes Film Festival audience.
The unlikely duo are then joined by Sabine , an actress also racing to get to Cannes; she has a part in Carson Clay’s new film. It’s another example ofcollecting characters along the way, people that seem to be fleeting but are captured by the video camera Bean is constantly playing with. Notable among these is Clay, who gets another, more in-depth introduction when directing a yogurt commercial set in World War II for some reason.
The ensuing montage shows clips of Sabine while Clay reminisces about a lost love, clips of Bean while Clay ponders what his past lover’s new beau might be—all scenes we’ve seen before that come together into a beautiful big picture. Sure, a more cynical view might take the flawless matching up of Bean’s home videos with Clay’s dialogue as a symbol that there is no real artistry in this cinema verité. But to me, it’s a sign that the best moments are unplanned.
I liken this to my experience on a college orientation canoeing trip. My group got lost in the New Hampshire woods, facing confusing directions and campers who threw tennis balls at us, before we had to tie our canoes together and be pulled to shore by motorboat. Now I’m getting ready to lead a trip of my own, a college senior who is supposedly an adult, and I’m terrified that I don’t know what I’m doing.
