The simplicity of the storytelling is a virtue here.

K.Millard's love of Chaplin powers this unusual journey through India, following the stories of Tramp impersonators and loving fans.

The film demonstrates why, nearly a century later, movie audiences around the world, still connect and vibrate with Chaplin, how his films about outcasts, gracefully fighting to survive in the most difficult and hopeless of circumstances, are still full of meaning and can make us laugh and cry.

Millard's pilgrimage could have been to Los Angeles or Switzerland, but by selecting India, she made, surprisingly, the perfect choice. You will enjoy this sweet, carefully crafted documentary, as if you were having a delicious cake, surrounded by your best friends.

French movies do not run away from tragedy. Most depict grief, sorrow, confusion and fear in a way that hardly ever American movies present. Betty Blue does this again but with bright touches of humour, big care for the quality of image (with fresh surrealistc tones) and a successful effort to introduce the viewer into the complex minds of the characters without relying in dialogues. Zorg rediscovers his potential as a writer and his value as a human being when Betty, the goddess of despair, the gatekeeper of passion, opens him up and takes him on a dangerous journey of self fulfillment... The music is wonderful. This is a great movie !

Rohmer´s movies show ordinary people in common situations,

discovering the magic, the loneliness, the doubts and passions that hide behind the dull façade of modernity. There are no superstars, there´s no great music, there aren't magnificent dialogues, just real, natural, ordinary images that become extraordinary precisely because of their simplicity. In the "Rayon Vert", the image of a young woman hearing the noise of the wind in a rural landscape that brings her face to face with the dreaded consciousness of her loneliness, is one of the greatest movie scenes I´ve seen in my life.
