To me, this movie is perfection.

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

I was a young man when I first saw this film in one of Moscow cinemas, where there was a cultural week of French films. I liked it so much that I saw it twice or three more times later on. The music and the general atmosphere of the movie seemed so fresh and impressive for me, living in the communist country.Lately I tried to find this film on DVD or in the Internet but only managed to get a RIP of quite bad quality. I'd like my daughter to watch this film and I wonder if she will like it the same way as myself.It was a pity to know that the actor who played the main female character, died from AIDS at the age of just 32.

Lovely is the word! In fact - inspiring! Not a rip-off of alder American musical classics like Wes-side story - or even Grease (why not). Excellent musical score. Plenty of intricate choreography - make this french attempt at American musicals - tasteful and definitely worthy of a home video collection. Story is not contrived at all. Some trite twists are cleverly disguised as necessities for the plot development. Multiple love stories are in a widest french variety range one can imagine! From "The Graduate"-like - to "Three's the company"-like. A lot of fun to watch. i gave it 10 out of 10 - just for that fun-to-watch part - and excellent musical score.
