Re: Le Dernier Metro----

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".


Salut,

Bambi B
