Viewing Notes

I’d been meaning to watch this for a while, and since it was scheduled to be removed from Netflix Instant Watch on 6/21, I pulled the trigger.

This is just a brilliant piece of filmmaking! I haven’t watched a lot of Malle, though I know OF his films. I’m going to have to correct that now.
