I was at the Pacific Ocean last year. As I kicked off my shoes and ran in, the final scene of this movie was all i could think about. The mark it leaves is indellible.

Gets more astonishing every time I see it. So many layers.

Others of Truffaut's best films charm because of their simple, contained stories. This one is broad and complex and still it has those personal touches that only Truffaut can deilver. The absolute greatest movie about making movies.

While the endless plot circles of the love triangle grew a little tiring, the combined rapidity and intimacy of Truffaut's style is something to treasure.

And if anyone knows where I can get a recording of the song that Catherine sings (also on the DVD menu screen), let me know. It's ingrained in my head and I need to exorcize it.

I don't know of a movie that better captures life's simple pleasures. The opening credits sequence alone was one of the most captivating pieces of cinema I've ever seen.

Cuaron's filmmaking is so envigorating. It makes me want to get out there on the road.

Like nothing I've ever seen before

I haven't seen this movie now for a few months. I'm developing facial ticks.

Unforgettable scene after unforgettable scene. And the best part came in the final moment.

One of the more evocative pieces of film ever.

Is it possible for one human being to understand another human being? Can we communicate successfully? Well this film sure can. Watch it if you want to learn about life, love, humanity, making movies, etc...etc.

One of my favorite Bergman films.

It worries me a little that I liked a movie so focused on death on old age as much as I did. But maybe I should be more worried about Bergman since he was only 38 when he made it.

The entire film--and the battle scenes especially--demonstrate the combined atrocity and splendor that accompany man on this earth.

Before the judge, we all can't help it.

Intensely personal. The emotional complexity of this work is astonishing. Do I sound like a critic?

It's no wonder many consider this the finest work of Bergman's career. It seems to contain each of his previous films within it, and yet, in its richness and scope, it is unlike anything else he accomplished.

I'm shocked at how few people on this site have seen this movie. Makes me really sad. See it, but call me before you do because I want to watch it again.

Très beau.
