Beautiful colors. I would never have thought I would love a musical this much.
Need every frame melted down into a liquid and injected into my veins heroin style. This film is GORGEOUS!!!
Beautiful anti-war romantic tragedy that boldly requires the cast to sing every line. It’s a bold move, but it pays off. A must watch.
Music is largely disappointing, but it makes up for it in its painstaking use of color to symbolize the relationships between characters.
A pastel-colored French classic. Every word of dialogue is sung and it often veers into melodrama. Has one of the all-time endings.
Beautiful – the colors! The entirely-sung-through music! Influenced the movie Barbie and supposedly influenced the upcoming Joker sequel(?!)
Very bold it’s a modern Greek tragedy. Amazing cinematography with a quality story to match. Good as an intro to French cinema.
A stunningly beautiful movie, both in story and in the incredible technicolor images.
very cute, with some darkness beneath the surface
This movie, in theory, is so bad: non stop singing, predictable and boring plot but i just love it. One of the preetiest movies ever
