the film is one of my all-time most favorites. fasihon is so lovely, young catherine deneuve is so cute and the music, yes, the music is just unbelievable. all the spoken words are sung along legrand's miraculous musical score. i am a big fan of legrand and this score is just incredible. you can even listen to the music alone and visualize it without seeing the film. it is quite a feat. i wantched the movie so many times, but the digitally re-mastered version released in 2009 is the best for you. color is so vivid and you enjoy fabulous french fashion from '50s and 60s. one more thing: you can notice there are many scenes in the film featuring bicycles. i guess jacques demy loved bicycles and used them as some kind of undertone in the film. i love the bike ridden by Guy (Nino Castelnuovo). an old classical french bike. a work of art. |
