Ohh noo, FWWM is one of his darkest films!! Totally ripped to shreds when it came out, it was only in theaters around here for a week, but it's since been generally re-evaluated as a great surrealist horror movie. OK, "the great went" is an unexplained non-sequitor that a drunken Jacques Renault utters in the throbbing niteclub scene. "I'm as blank as a fart." I know what you're referring to re: his semi-comic style, he's into "absurd" humor, but I think this is actually LESS commercial then his "suburban surrealism" style everyone associates with him. Go rewatch this Art, it's an amazing movie, for a lot of reasons. I could filibuster, but I'll let it go...
