It could remind Fellini. But it is special. For naivety, the trip across historical periods, for lovely eulogy of love and friendship, for delicat humor and for charme. Explanation - the genius of Rene Clair. The talent of Gerard Philipe. The art to create an entire world in seductive manner, with sweet game of cliches. . The plot. And...the magic. To create a dream atmosphere is always a challenge. In this case is an impressive victory. And premise for a lovely film.
