Hundred of Beavers
After losing everything, an applejack salesman named Jean Kayak sets out on a quest to survive the wilderness and reinvent himself as North America’s greatest fur trapper. Along the way, he encounters a world filled with mischievous animals, eccentric characters, and increasingly absurd challenges. Blending silent-era slapstick with inventive visual comedy, Hundreds of Beavers is a wildly original adventure that has become one of the most acclaimed cult comedies of recent years.
“It’s the single funniest movie of 2024, delivering punchline after punchline through its acute understanding of slapstick comedy and cinematic language. It’s the kind of singular cinematic experience destined to be a midnight cult hit.”
Pete Volk, Polygon
“The sheer sustained silliness of this spoof silent comedy is what finally compels admiration. It’s like chancing across a bunch of eerily gifted kids by the roadside putting on a bizarrely accomplished, very extended series of magic tricks and circus acrobatic stunts.”
Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian
“A marvel of slapstick invention that in terms of pure unbridled creativity puts most big-screen comedies to shame.”
Nick Schager, The Daily Beast
