Edition screened: Included in Criterion 2-Blu-ray set #655 Pierre Étaix, released 2013. French language with English subtitles. Runtime approximately 98 minutes.
Summary: No particular depictions of violence toward animals.
This splendidly creative and genuinely funny film justifies the entire purchase price of the Criterion set. The final portion of Yoyo intentionally veers away from French comedy tradition to jest with Fellini’s films, a shift cued by the La Strada style circus poster with an entrance price of “8 ½” posted.
