Blier's sense of humor is curious if not downright incomprehensible... The comedy is so airy it floats right off the screen.

People Magazine
"Get Out Your Handkerchiefs" may not shock the way it once did, but it remains the purest expression of Blier's comic métier, treating naughty ideas with the straightest of faces.

Los Angeles Times
Get Out Your Handkerchiefs is a farce played absolutely deadpan, with such an exaggerated solemnity that it baffled the kinds of critics who like to be properly alerted when it's time to laugh.

National Review
Rating: B+ --
will leave it to you to enjoy this absurdist and silly, goofy and fun little comedy as it unfolds. The extras on the blu-ray are scant, at best.

[Blier's] entertaining movie starts uneasily, builds carefully, and ends beautifully.

Film Comment Magazine
Rating: B --
Blier's writing is sharp, his use of space mined for its comedic potential, his casting meticulous, especially in his return pairing of Depardieu and Dewaere whose bromance here is the film's highlight.

Going Places, which preceded this film by a year, is the Blier film to beat, but Handkerchiefs is one unruly, rioutously funny entry just the same. (The Academy, is must be noted, preferred this one, and the film took home the Best Foreign

Product Description:
When Raoul's wife, Solange, falls into a state of perpetual despondency, he tries anything to cure her -- including asking a total stranger to make love to her. But even with a new lover, her sadness remains. The two men are utterly baffled, until a neighbor offers an invaluable insight: might Solange want a baby' It turns out that she does, but after numerous attempts, neither husband nor lover succeeds in impregnating her. Then, one afternoon, the three head off on a field trip and Solange meets Christian, a precocious 13-year-old whiz kid who manages to get her into bed. Finally, with this boy, Solange finds contentment. But Christian's horrified parents immediately attempt to ship him off to boarding school. Solange, however, has no intention of losing her new-found happiness -- even if she has to resort to kidnapping to keep it.
