Two days ago, Jack Cardiff won a life time achievement award on

the Oscars. I didn't know that before renting this brand new

re-release tonight but I shure can understand why he did now..

Girl on a Motorcycle is absolutly delightful, surprising and way

before it's time. A hidden masterpiece we might say.. Marianne

Faithfull is like an apple on a tree in the garden of Eden and Alain

Delon is the snake. All that with the soundtrack of a Harley-Davidson cruising on some roads in France or Switzerland

between psychedelic flashbacks and dreams..

Anymore éloge is superficial, just watch this film thank you and

good night and shut up!..

As a film noir entousiasme, I don't rate this film on the top ten of the genre. But it has some moments. Some great shots by Cinematographer Paul Ivano that would deserve being laminated and hanged on a wall. I'll let you notice them. Also check out a young 24 years old Shelley Winter with a 10 seconds scene as a waitress.

In brief a movie carried by cinematography more than acting, by atmosphere more than by a script.

This attempt to make an artsy documentary about Quincy Jones is totally missed. We don't understand anything the people interviewed are saying. Everything is mixed in an incompréhensible mish-mash. It's a crying shame with all these great artists interviewed who could have had a lot of things to say about The Man Quincy. Miles Davis, Frank Sinatra, etc..

The poor director of this thing have apparently never worked in this town after. No surprise with all the important names who were involved in this disaster! 0/10

The last time I saw Harvey Keitel naked and losing is sanity was in Bad Lieutenant but IT HAD A POINT!

In this movie nothing from the half of it until the end make sense. It's like the director threw the script in the air and shout "ok let's improvise!". What in heaven's name was the idea of having Keitel ware a dress all of a sudden??? To me that was the scene where I pressed fast-forward and it was still endless! They could have cut a good 30 minutes of rambling improvisation off this film and maybe it would have been good...

How do you make an already exploited David vs. Goliath scenario a joyful film of 2 hrs that seems to last 5 minutes? A great cast!

Julia Roberts and Albert Finney are so good and develop such a great chemistry and complicity, that's the movie right there.

Go rent this and let them take you by the hand!

Being french I always have difficulties watching american movies shot in France. The reason is that everybody is a poet or a lover.

Paris Blues is one of those Postal Card movies. The plot is not bad and remind us of a fact that american jazzmen where treated like Kings in Paris in the 50s and 60s. The music is very well syncronised with the music scenes, you wonder if Paul Newman learned how to play the trombone!

But I started to use the fast-forward button on my remote when everybody falls in love and take long walks until the sunrise and eat croissants and coffee. We got all the clichés, the promenade on the Champs Élysée, the friendly vendor at the market etc.. At one point you don't know if they are in the garden of Eden or what. This has not changed a whole lot in american films since then (Green Card, French Kiss, the list can go on and on..).

Not such a bad movie if you like post-cards.. :)

I don't understand why a great movie director in the person of John Frankeinheimer would make a film with such a bad script. After you'll watch this (hopefully not) you'll spend the rest of the evening enumerating all the illogical and simply impossible twists and turns of it.

In brief, a movie that will stay in your mind for a long time for it's stupidity and senseless story.

This a good movie by Clint Eastwood but why did he pick Kevin Costner for the leading role??? He is so hard to believe as a criminal that at one point he literally have to say "Oh yeah I'm bad, I'm really bad" (a line used in the movie trailer as well).

For that reason A Perfect World is a film that could have been great but is just good.

I bought this film for 1.99$ at my video store just by curiosity (it was january 2000). It's a typical B-movie shot in 16mm with bad acting, dull scenario and special effects made with fire crackers.

Actually I don't even remember what the film was about really. I watched the rest of it on fast-forward and taped over it later.

That's Escape 2000 for me!
