definitely a very unique film, I enjoyed his was of combining camera motion and using voiceover to allow there to be dialogue as well

Jean-Pierre Melville can't help himself from being the most stylish guy around, even when it's a documentary about clowns

Its only 18 minutes but i found myself pretty attached to this random character, even laughing along to the jokes. I think its impressive how enjoyable it managwd to be even though it had no subtitles and I dont speak french. Its a simple and endearing film.
