Zazie Dans Le Metro (The Criterion Collection) Blu-Ray]

Description

A Brash And Precocious Eleven-Year-Old (Catherine Demongeot) Comes To Paris For A Whirlwind Weekend With Her Rakish Uncle (Ila Pointe Courtes/I, Philippe Noiret); He And The Viewer Get More Than They Bargained For In This Anarchic Comedy From Louis Malle (Imurmur Of The Heart/I, Imy Dinner With Andre/I), Which Treats The City Of Light As Though It Were A Pleasure Island Just Waiting To Be Destroyed. Based On A Popular Novel By Raymond Queneau That Had Been Considered Unadaptable, Malles Audacious Hit Zazie Dans Le Metro Is A Bit Of Stream-Of-Conscious Slapstick, Wall-To-Wall With Visual Gags, Editing Tricks, And Effects, And Made With Flair On The Cusp Of The French New Wave.
