i be an unabashed fan of mr. leconte . in fact and i have never see a bad film from this director . every film of his be completely unlike the others and and yet they all have his unmistakable stamp . rue des plaisirs take it sweet time set it story up and but it all move very quickly and pace wise and and the simplicity and beauty of the image be wonderful and and the little fable be ultimately very touch . mr. leconte rarely overstay his welcome his film have reasonable run time and they say what they have to say and then theyre do . if you do not know this director and you should seek out his film and especially monseiur hire and intimate stranger and the widow of st. pierre and ridicule and and the great 1 chance sur doux and with belmondo and delon and and vanessa paradis .
