it wasn't on american tv Don Vercetti. you didn't miss this one well I did watch and I did like it. the directing is somewhat genious, with all the camera moves and original soundtrack. it's cool to see where Tarantino got his long dialogue scenes from. the hotel room scene with Michel and Patricia may last almost half an hour of no action and I still was glued to the TV. it surprised a lot because I was expecting more of a crime flick, but I didn't see that many crime related stuff in the plot. instead, it's a relationship flick, like Woody Allen could do, with touches of comedy and wonderful acting from Belmondo, an actor I had never heard of. a classic.
