Featured reviews
But from the visuals alone, this piece offers quite a lot - and what I liked most: the period cars. Fiat 500.. Renault Dauphine.. Citroen ID/DS.. that alone made me very happy :)
This movie is old, politically somewhat dated since the early 1970s, and not much commented on here. But it's not forgotten - according to French Wikipedia, Claude Lelouch announced in January 2007 that he will make a sequel to this, "L'aventure sera toujours l'aventure", to be released in 2009 or 2010.
I also agree that it takes this movie to move on. While it is good in some movies to have long scenes, here it just doesn't make sense and makes the movie a little bit boring.
So my summary is: The film and the idea could have potential, but the way the film is trying to refer to political stuff just doesn't work out here. But this also is not a bad movie, it's better than most things on TV just don't expect anything big.
I watched this film for one main reason--Lino Ventura. And, in this regard, the movie was a huge disappointment. While Ventura might just be the coolest gangster in film history, here he is nothing like his usually self-assured persona but a bit of a bumbler hanging out with other bumblers. I certainly did NOT expect a comedy! However, after I got over this, I saw that the film, while a bit dopey here and there, is still very worth seeing. It is truly a strange but enjoyable film. Some of the laughs fall a bit flat but the film is so original and engaging that I was able to look past this.
