7 out of 10 people found the following review useful.
Great dialogue, even better if you understand the original, 27 August 2002
Author: P. J. Kerrigan from Berkeley, CA

Given the exhaustive and thoughtful review by the previous poster, I won't be redundant. This movie contains one of the best lines I've ever heard: As Nelly rides away with LouLou on his motorcycle, Andre poutfully spouts (rough english) "But you can't discuss books with him!"; Nelly replies "I don't discuss books, I read them!".

Priceless.
