Ground-breaking political musical that captures the "live for today" decadence enjoyed in Berlin between the World Wars.

The tv series was legendary, but this big screen putting under performs in my book. The loose ends that created intrigue on the small screen, make for a scrappy film that never quite gets off the ground, never mind extraterrestrial. Disappointing at best.

His film slaps me in the face with it's exuberant flai every time I watch it. Definitely a film to watch that stands up to repeat viewings. I love Belmondo's super cool performance, arrogant and mischievous yet peferfectly loveable. For me the film is made by the delicious turn of Jean Seburg. The scene on the Champs always sets my heart a flutter. Timeless, sexy and experiment.

Cinematic perfection.
