Trivia
A poster for "Sink the Bismarck!" (1960) can be seen behind the old Shopkeeper towards the end of the film. Coincidentally, the Shopkeeper is played by Alfred Hoffman, who actually appeared in a minor role in "Sink the Bismarck!" as a young actor.

A parable. Seductive for the bitter poetry and for lovely pledge for books. For me, a film as projection of a dream. Because each reader dreams to meet a bookkipper , a huge bookshop and , for free, discover an entire universe as a long , very long story. A parable about trade with books. And poor poetry about the agony of an old, dear, precious reality. All is admirable in this case, from the books to the performances.
