Most unfortunate if you can't bear singing in movies.

Quotes:
Geneviève Emery:
You know, I think she suspects something.
Guy Foucher: Who?
Geneviève Emery: Mother. When I said I was going to the theater with Cecile, she gave me a funny look.
Guy Foucher: What kind of look?
Geneviève Emery: Like this. She knows Cecile hates shows, and I am a bad liar.
Guy Foucher: That's what you say.
Geneviève Emery: I assure you I am.

1. Coloring, that is absolutely matchless 2. Even the first notes of the main theme make you cry 3. Unique way of singing in a musical 4. One of the most touching love stories 5. Beautiful Catherine Deneuve 6. It's not American 7. Made in the sixties 8. You can watch it over and over again 9. Since you've once seen it.. you must watch it over and over again 10. Esso-scene
Ten more or less good reasons why this just might be the one.. the favorite movie of mine. I partly understand people who hate it, the singing is the main reason i think. But the unique way of singing! Not in the traditional way this is a musical, people just happen to sing when they talk. And the music (especially main theme) is so hauntingly beautiful it really does make you want to cry when you hear the first notes.
The coloring is like in no other film. The clothing and background have been matched in every single scene of the movie. That's real cinema, that's beautiful! And if that's beautiful already, then what comes when the 20-year old Catherine Deneuve is in the lead role! Just WOW!
Once again I don't bother explaining any of the plot, because there's no point really...but one of the saddest scenes in movie history, is the Esso-scene in this one. Watch it! if you're not too busy watching the latest Van-Damme.
