It's a classic, I think– beautiful and heartbreaking in its reminder of the distance between the France of Sarkozy and Le Pin and that evoked in French films from "L'Atalante" to "The Last Metro." It puts to shame Woody Allen's smug, silly "Paris at Midnight," which has as much relation to the Paris of Fitzgerald, Hemingway, and Picasso as a high-school crib sheet has to "In Our Time."
