The comic potential of the middle aged couple driving each other crazy rather wore out its welcome with me a while ago.

Nude Tuesday
Jemaine Clement (What We Do in the Shadows), Jackie van Beek (The Breaker Upperers) and Damon Herriman (Judy & Punch) star in this couples therapy comedy spoken in a gibberish-ish language, with different writers tackling the subtitles for different regions and releases.
When middle-aged suburban couple, Laura (van Beek) and Bruno (Herriman) are gifted a remote couples’ retreat for their anniversary, they decide to give their failing marriage one last shot before calling it quits. Arriving in an idyllic sanctuary nestled in the mountains, Laura and Bruno uncomfortably enter a world of laughter workshops, tantric dance, sexual liberation and emotional animals, helmed by the charismatic guru Bjorg Rassmussen (Clement). When new temptations start to take hold, the couple are pushed to the brink forcing them to look within to find what they really want.

Nude Tuesday | Reviews
Audacious is an understatement with this bawdy, absurdist comedy - body language, emotion and clownishness do the acting (with subtitles written later), proving silly, raucous and sometimes surprisingly moving.

The performances are top-notch, with a predictably stand-out job from Jemaine Clement...

The cast’s performances may transcend language but the subtitles inject an omniscient – and hilarious – presence in the work...

I just couldn’t quite get into Nude Tuesday. It’s no Gary of the Pacific, but it’s no Kiwi comedy classic either.
