Hasards ou coïncidences (1998)
extraordinary one of a kind film
I was at home with my wife on a Saturday night in Honolulu when this film came on the TV. I'll never forget that night. A film so poignant,so beautifully realized, so imaginative, so -dare I say- artistic. I have it on DVD and watch it often. It is not the subject matter, or the direction, or the acting, or the cinematography that distinguish it; it stands apart as a work of art in its own right. Don't even call it a film. It is what a film wishes it could be, what a symphony wishes it could be, what a painting wishes it could be- it is an experience. Don't look for a repeat of this excellence in other Lelouch outings, it is not there. For my money one of the 10 best films I have ever seen.

Best sci-fi movie ever made
If you watch this movie carefully- very carefully you will get it. Watch all the people- make note of who is in each scene. This is one of the best sci-fi movies of all time. But it takes your attention, like a book. By the way I hated the Matrix-truly boring. You must use your mind while you watch this movie. It compares with 2001 a space odyssey and Vanilla Sky- but better. Don't look for meaning deeper than what is there. People who hate this movie just don't have a clue what is going on. There are so few movies that are any good in my opinion, as compared to books of which there are many excellent ones. Watching this movies feels like reading a book- it means nothing without your attention, but tickles and stimulates your brain if you do pay attention. Wow!
