Very moving and sublime film

'Un Film Comme Les Autres' is a film which is highly original and at the same time just like any other film. It is just like any other film because its core and its effect are of pure cinema, any kind of film: film as film.

The film is so cool it's bored.

The film is perfectly 60s.

The film is moving because it is slow and involving. On this level it is purely mystical experience to view.

The film's photography and overall vibe are special and unique.

The film is a unique document of the period and obviously very fascinating.
