Before I first saw this film, I read somerwhere that the director died just before it was released. Whenever I explain this movie to someone that's exactly what I tell them. I tell them that it is a film made in 1930, about a newlywed couple starting to live their married life on a boat in France.
I also say that it is probably the most beautiful movie I can think of, and that the director was a young, dying, artist who was in a fever during most of the filming...and it SHOWS in every frame of the movie.
