Zazie dans le métro (Louis Malle, 1960)




Zazie dans le métro (Louis Malle, 1960)
Rating: 8.1

Louis Malle shows off his versatility as a director as he applies New Wave sensibilities to a vibrantly colored and playful farce that satirizes French society. Catherine Demongeot is adorable as Zazie, and the character as well as the film's aesthetics were most likely an inspiration for Jeunet when he was making Amelie.
