Ascenseur pour l'échafaud (1958)
Soundtrack
The film is a masterpiece. One of the best directors, one of the most beautiful towns in the world and a great soundtrack, composed by Miles Davis. The music talks with the images, to the point that sometimes you can even think they are a comments on the music, and not the contrary. However, we know that the soundtrack was extemporized by Davis and his sidemen as they were watching the film. As if they were sat down at the cinema and they whistled during the showing. The musicians playing with Davis on this record are: Miles Davis Trumpet Barney Wilen Tenor Saxophone René Urtreger Piano Pierre Michelot Bass Kenny Clarke Drums It's enough to see the movie, isn't it ?

This movie is simply the product of a humor's genius
This movie is simply the product of a genius. If you watch it in french without understanding it, if you don't like Beckett-like plots, if you don't like Paris, if you are looking for a-story-that-works this is not for you. This was the first film i saw by Sophie Fillières -avant prèmiere at the Cinémathéque francaise- and I bet she's to Paris what Allen is to Manhattan. It's too early to say, but i hope she won't deceive us. Dialogs are amazing, situations are paradoxical, even the soundtrack is exactly what it has to be (she said it was too expensive, but et the end she kept it). A smart comedy as you won't find a lot in Europe.
