this be a brilliant and charming film . to the poster want merci simca to become a common well known phrase i totally agree . this movie have it all wit and charm and great acting and clever script and great use of flashback and inventive crime and great car chase thru the 70 street of paris an almost perfect film . this movie be easily the equal of other classic french crime film of the time it a shame it be so little known . you may be throw a bit ( a be i ) when character be do thing out of character and not realize it a flashback and but that only add to the experience i would rather be confuse for a few minute than have some obvious corny announcement that a flashback be come and like squiggly dream line appear on screen . i have hear nothing of this film and have no expectation and and be blow away . this film be 25 year ahead of it time and it kind of a forerunner to comedy or crime film such a pulp fiction and true lie and go and etc . and but superior to all those .
