If a movie makes me cry you bet your ass it's getting a 5
I will never get tired of proselytizing for this movie. Possibly the most emotionally potent and wistfully beautiful film to come out of France's Poetic Realist period, it's unique in that the story around the film's production and its subsequent cultural legacy are so genuinely romanesque that they almost overshadow the relatively contained realism of the film's own narrative.

Im sure this film’s curious production history as a one-man horror show passion project would make it an interesting addition to some kind of college syllabus on exploitation film, but I couldn't really find anything in the film itself worth writing home about. If you disregard the notorious shock value, there’s not a lot of substance, narrative or stylistic, to…
