Audience Member Ensorceleur, magique, brillant, incomparable, un rêve filmé! Bravo et merci à toute l'équipe qui a participé à cette œuvre du 7ème Art! Et continuez! Ce film est un enchantement. J'ai adoré: TOUT! La mise en scène, l'histoire, les prises de vues, les acteurs(trices), le style de montage, bref: TOUT! Un chef d'œuvre rare; unique? Vous qui peut-être me lisez, si vous connaissez d'autres films du même niveau, merci de me faire signe et de me donner des références, je souhaiterai tellement découvrir plus de films comme celui-ci. Merci d'avance. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member I remember this film because it was one of my first forays into French cinema. I wish only that I could own it in DVD now, although it's impossible to find outside of France (and even within). It's rather odd and disjointed and abstract, but to me that's what made it appealing. I always remember it as a sequence of paintings on film edited together, with plenty of color play and interesting use of light. Still, the plot could have used a bit of polishing, although this would have detracted from the feeling of endless, aimless wondering the director I feel was striving for. An interesting watch and, for me, a sentimental favorite. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member like a dream with knives in it.
