    This is definitely landmark cinema. Even many of the French New Wave directors who took a very hostile stance towards the old French film industry paid their respects to this film. 13 years 6 months ago

    One of the most beautiful films I've ever seen. There's so many quotes I'd like to keep in mind. And it was made in incredibly hard times. 9 years 4 months ago
