Grandiose, 21 March 2004
9/10
Author: joelroussel from Paris

I agree with all reviewers of this film, though they don't seem to agree one with the other. The thing is they're all right depending on how you focus it. The other point is they're all French. And that is the point. You have to be French, otherwise, you'll pass over what make this film so brilliant. In other words, what would be the point watching "gone with the wind" if you're deaf and blind? Still, if you are able to catch the delicious subtleness and unbelievable richness of Parisian argot (spoken for over 500 years makes it vintage. doesn't it?), it is a must see. Still, I gave it a 10 -1 rating. 10 because it's worth it, minus 1 because it's French.
