I read all the previous commentaries about this film, to see if I was alone in loving it as much as I did, and with pleasure can see that save one (out of seven) they all loved it. Maybe I have the same mentality of this low class department store clerk, that is able to levitate when she experiences supreme happiness. Why not. As they show in the movie, not only high brow literature can give you high pleasure. Some trash once in a while can be truly satisfying indeed. And being a great fan of Almodovar movies, this one gets quite close to his trashy school of philosophy. I loved it. I loved everything about this movie. The main couple is so charming one would like to embrace them and tell them: I love you! This is the kind of fantasy movie that I would place next to "Miss Potter", "El laberinto del fauno" and "Les paraplues de Cherbourg", to me, masterpieces of the genre. The musical numbers are delightful because apparently "house made" they seem spontaneous and very casual. They just happen as one would start dancing and singing at home because on the radio they started playing our favorite number. I would recommend it to anybody of any age. This one should be called "La vie en rose"! And now I can see why Josephine Baker was so successful in France as a singer. She was a very light soprano (the perfect voice for Snow White --no pun intended), but her rendition of these songs are simply delightful, after so many years, and as a bonus, they give you and incredible pang of nostalgia!!
