scott s Such a wonderful comedy right when silent films were transitioning to talkies. Clair's innovation helped pave the way for sound in movies. The one thing that I loved about this movie is how joy and loved thrived in a deteriorating Paris Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member There's some creative use of the "new" technology of sound, but there's little else. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member The kind of affectionately vivacious, musically stirring, playfully sarcastic and emotionally meandering cinema only the French could produce. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Are French women really this terrible, or are French filmmakers just misogynistic? Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member This is my first Rene Clair film and it is a magnificent one. It's a film about a love triangle between a young woman, a street singer and a gangster. It's funny, thrilling, moving and goes into unexpected directions. This was made in 1930 and it's one of the early sound films with some scenes playing out kind of like a silent movie. It also features some highly inventive use of sound and music. The ending is a bit unexpected but very satisfying nevertheless. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Lacks focus and tone, but the performances and camerawork make up for the missteps.
