A towering achievement by one of the greatest geniuses of the cinema!
OOPS!!!
Wait a minute, I thought I was writing about "Children of Paradise"!!
So sorry!
But I'd still call this a masterpiece. If you love gentle, imaginative comedy, love movies that MOVE, love caricature, love subtlety, have an attention span of more than five minutes and need a relief from the drudgery, devilment and depression of ordinary, everyday life, I'd highly recommend this one.
It's truly a unique experience. There are no other movies like it. The antithesis of many of today's popular films, with their seemingly endless dialogue, car chases, sexual gymnatics, and gore.
A funny guy in a raincoat, pipe and hat goes to a seaside hotel for a few days. That's all you need to know. Just watch it and laugh. It will do you a world of good.
Mon Oncle is great also, but not as great as this one.
