Le roi de coeur (1966)
One of my all time favorites

Unfairly labeled a "hippy" film, this movie's message, although trite in it's general theme, is a masterpiece. I was moved by the unique characters and I was sad by their ultimate surrender. The story of this movie is secondary to the characters. It is the characters we remember. They are not merely characters, but "hearts"- people who respond not my logic but by feelings. The emotional impact of this film is still with me after all these years. It is very 1960s, when anti-war stands were commonplace in America, but is there ever a good war? Is there ever not room for pure innocence? I prefer the french version of this film with subtitles, the English version destroys the sensitvity of the voices that communicate the film's message.
