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".
