Zazie Dans Le Metro (Criterion Collection)

This early Louis Malle film is a comic romp through the streets of Paris! Harried Philippe Noiret is charged with the care of his 11-year-old niece, but when she gets away from him to explore the city by herself, chaos quickly ensues, eventually leading him to leap from the top of the Eiffel Tower. Malle's avant-garde approach deftly adapts a challenging Raymond Queneau novel on which it is based. With Catherine Demongeot, Hubert Deschamps. 92 min. Standard; Soundtrack: French Dolby Digital mono; Subtitles: English; interviews; bonus short "Le Paris de Zazie" (2005); theatrical trailer; booklet. In French with English subtitles.
