CANNES CLASSICS

Press

“A series of increasingly surreal adventures through which Joffe’s main theme emerges with a burst of grace and imagination worthy of a Fellini fantasy. Once on track, there’s no stopping ALBERTO EXPRESS.”

Los Angeles Times

“There’s never a dull moment in this absurd action-packed comedy. It is wellacted, edited and guarantees a good laugh. Hilarious entertainment.”

Variety

“Fantastic.”
