In Reply to: Le Dernier Metro---- posted by patrickU on November 15, 2004 at 04:55:32:
patrick,"The Last Metro" is I think an undervalued Truffaut. This one to me is bit like Schindler's List" for Spielberg- atypical, but in a strong but quietly mature manner. This is a very "natural" kind of movie that does not overwhelm with self-conscious high art film techniques and the story is very clear. There is a great balance of the personal story against the larger political/war background and the way war is confusing and intrudes in odd small tiring ways as well as with sudden great impacts.
I'm also a fan of another overlooked Truffaut- "L'Enfant sauvage".

Bonjour Bambi,In fact I think it is his best film, it is so very finely played, and so true to the " verité historique " if you catch all the small details in it, it is an eye opener. And the play in the play, a classic way as old as theater, is nicely put. AND it is morally of high value, showing that not all men or women are created equals.
We knows about the special bond between Steven and Francois...It is too bad that the first drifted in almost the nothing in all his last films, all being relative I hope that his master work " Schindler " he some day will will be a be able to surpasse, let´s hope...
"L enfant" has a lot of charm, and Truffaut´s role always was similar in my eyes as the one performance he made for " Close Encounter ".....A bientôt,
Patrick
