. when this movie so well prove that they indeed be unnecessary . although few line and it be kind of weird to see this movie and no sub and in a language unknown . a friend of mine send a vhs and include a few piece of paper with all line translate to english . with her translation next to me and i begin watch this tale ( it be indeed a tale ) and and from the very first tune of the whistle melody during open credit i be stick . the colour and that minimal acting ( well and in most case ) and absurd comedy and slapstick and thoughtful and beautiful . along with a few other movie ( paris and texas and nenette et boni ) and this one be able to speak to anyone heart without word . whenever you get the chance and see it . whatever you do do not miss it . it a once in a lifetime experience . oh and acting be great and the soundtrack be brilliant and the story be simple and tell a thousand time before but rarely ( never . ) like this .
