Viewing Notes

Finally checked this off my to-watch list. I’ve seen bits of this movie so many times. It’s easy to see how this kicked off an entire film movement when it came out. The existentialism/nihilism of the primary characters captures the malaise of the time period perfectly and Paris, as always, is a great backdrop.
