The greatest of the early talkies.

The essence of the American Myth in one film.

The best of all films about the making of cinema.

Visconti's masterpiece and the best historical epic to date.

The greatest comedy-tragedy on the meaning and meaninglessness of modern life.

I love Truffaut, and this is his best film.

I know no better film about the human soul.

The human condition, mirrored in the Cambodian jungle.

The greatest film about love lost and found and lost again.
