Simply superb classic, 13 July 2000
10/10
Author: Per (pelle.astrom@aftonbladet.se) from Stockholm, Sweden

Genuinely beautiful shots, fast moving camera work in post-impressionist French fashion. Moreover, and less high-brow, Simone Simone qualifies as le plus belle still in the new century. Timeless story of love.

A "must see" film
