"Get Out Your Handkerchiefs" begins as a typical French menage-a-trois tale, then goes off in original and unexpected directions (about which it is best not to be spoiled beforehand - read other reviews cautiously). It's well-made and often funny in a deadpan, understated way, but it's certainly not for the easily offended. *** out 4.

That's good cinema...!!! That's a real way to think about another reality .. we don't need weapons knowledge but self-comprehension.. we don't need anything else.. we don't need extreme mean examples of human nature.. at least we don't need high tech killers & so many people being killed every minute on everyday films.. we're just humans.. and we should love being humans.. We should try to make money with human storys and not only speculating with extreme violence and threatening extremes.. Making films is such a huge responsibility that we should really think about it.. as a producer and as a spectator.. "How are we building the next generation reality.." if big budget means huge violence.. I just ask you to think about it..

That movie has give me lot of fun. It is indeed sometimes a little dull but it keeps me alive till the end. In my opinion that movie has got something in it - the feeling that sometimes it may happen for sure. Also in our society. I think it is a actual topic also with been mature or getting to it. The movie contains problems from usual life, depression and other facts that everyone has got a contact with it in their life. Préparez vos mouchoirs is the movie for people with open mind and different view for the life and surrounding problems during our life. Maybe it has got a clue for that kind of problems? Very brave clues indeed but the life is short and we must have fun of it. Everyone must have.

What does a women want? I think the recent popularity of films like the Science of Sleep, I Heart Huckabees and Being John Malkovich deserves to rekindle interest in this important but largely forgotten director.Through the late 70's and 80's, Blier single handedly kept alive the French tradition of Absurdist Theater. While films like Being John Malkovich and I Heart Huckabees incorporate elements of surrealism, they remained tied to conventional narratives that require that ultimately everything ultimately make sense. Kaufman and Russell are relying on throwing a few nonsensical elements into their conventional narratives. Blier (and to a lesser extent Gondry) stop making sense and embrace the absurdity of life.
