I particularly liked the stretch 2CV's the French gangsters drive around in. And in the scene where they are cycling up the mountain in the Tour you can actually feel the pain... |

23 Jan 07 - 09:12 AM (#1945389) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Triplettes de Belleville Vaudeville Song From: Charlie Baum I loved the film. Catching all the obscure references and allusions, from Django Reinhardt and Josephine Baker to music concrete and Jacques Tati films, was a hoot. The music, from the theme song to Bach played on bicycle wheel spokes, was a charm. The inventive animation had me enthralled (I still remember the dog's dream sequence). And that theme song! --Charlie Baum |
