great film
maybe a bit on the long side
When there's no more room in hell, The dead will walk the earth...
Glad you liked it. It gets better with each viewing. One of my all time favourite.

yep, great film and it deserves to be seen in the theatre. it's not a movie to be watching while you're loitering up and down from your sofa, talking to buddies or putting scenes on repeat - needs to be watched in one go, and with the attention pulled by a big screen.
Lots of people have pointed out how implausible this story and its people would be today. I agree, but that's plainly because a style like Alexandre's is out of date, out of fashion now. Like Zabriskie Point, this is a film about people who don't measure themselves in commercial values and who are not aiming for half an hour of fame (even if Alexandre is a poser in a sense, he's a deeply honest poser, honest to his beliefs and values). Nor are they cynical. Careless sometimes, but not prone to brush off people in a jiffy for not having the right kind of handbag or the right accent.
