    I guess you could say I didn't appreciate the style of the film, it was visually very well done, but the story was just a little too silly for my taste. The acting is uneven, but the young Genevieve Bujold stands out.

    Everyone should see this at least once. Especially good to watch when the world seems crazy. Too bad it's only an underground enjoyment.

    its pretty good, mostly in French but still a good plot

    Great movie about the inmates running the asylum. And, as trite as that sounds now, back in the early 60s it really wasn't.
    Seek this one out. Alan Bates is awesome. (And he looks a bit like Mel Gibson, right?)
