at first sight and who sing over there just seem to be an absurd and excellent comedy with only a kind of unusual and quiet and slow motion represent what a mistake . begin with two singer on a desert landscape and then a bus and a wonderful bunch of actor and it hide a gem . the folded story and and a false rhythm induces you to think and yes it be comic and but just let you guess it will be a gentle kind of movie . not at all represent very funny by instant and dark subtle cynical on others and it development surprise you all along the story very ingeniously and cleverly present and all the character be important and and the actor give them full life . and what be astonish and it base on deep observation and great mastering of the camera work and have a great meaning and and really everything and the general direction and how also the detail be present and that it simply make you forget it a movie represent it be like to watch a kind human society and you yet do not know and shoot by a friend behind a camera . and youre the one behind him . it be simple and and simply exceptional . don not misunderstand me while in no way that would mean the script and the quality of picture and the music score have a kind of amateurish way and no and no . it great art . because it flow like a river from high up in the mountain and down to the sea and with all the different sort of ground and peregrination that a real river will face on it journey to the sea from a tiny thing to a main stream . this metaphoric image i use be the very best way i can find to explain all the charm that have who sing over there . for me and again and i take the hammer represent simply exceptional . i have see that the director be the one who make chat blanc or chat noir and which i know be quiet famous but a i yet do not see it and i have no idea about this gentleman . others reviewer write dithyrambical comment on that film and i fully agree . european eastern cinema be not well know because seldom translate and but i be lucky to have this exemplar one in original language and with good english subtitle . all in all represent deep and delicious and exceptional . for fast and empty explode type and special effect buff and avoid it at any cost and it may be too subtle and good for you . but if youre interested in different genre and or or classic and i guess you would not regret this one and and in case of buying and it will have good companionship in your personal dvd library and with such no less than merit big name like billy wild and lubitsch and or sacha guitry among some of my preferred director . at least for this movie . a film be never really good unless the camera be an eye in the head of a poet orson welles .
