A movie without any word, no dialogue, but you don't feel that something is missing. The music, the dance and choreography, replace any missing dialogue. You get a history of France as seen and heard from a dance-hall stage at certain points in time : 1936,1940,1944,1946,1956, 1968, & 1983. Special remarks for Marc Berman & Jean-Francois Perrier and for the man behind writing and acting Jean-Claude Penchenat - La "croix de feu". Real nice movie - a 9 mark.
I saw the movie for the first time yesterday, on the Israeli Movie Channel. Because the presentation tag gave it a 4 stars mark, I decided to record it. It was a correct decision, as immediately I watched it again, to be sure that I understood everything. The script is wonderful, and the three main actors are real great and convincing. There are a lot of grotesque situations, and I have to recommend directors' work,(please pay attention to Tilly's % Pantoliano's voices !!) What a great movie - It deserves a 10 mark.
In 1976, February I fled Ceausescu's Romania for Israel. In a week time, one of my friends took me to see "One Flew Over the Cuckoo Nest". I was shocked, and till now, more than 20 years, I still think that, except "The Godfather Saga", it's the best movie ever made. May be you will be surprised, but my opinion, is that this is the best ANTI-COMMUNIST movie. Simply it shows, what crimes can be done in the name of "taking care of the well-being" of your subjects. Looking at Mrs.Fletcher as head nurse, I was thinking of Ceausescu. I am pretty sure that the director, which like, me left the "communist paradise", was thinking the same way all the way long.
