Roger Ebert

RTChicago Sun-TimesJan 1, 2000

It is not a sad film, however. It is a film about a boy lucky enough to discover how he wanted to spend his life, and to spend it that way.

Every moment of this film is filled with love. The love one can feel for their husband, the love a child can feel for their parents, the love an audience can have for cinema and storytelling, the film is one of Varda's most beautiful and moving projects.

A portrait that is at once a love letter to the movies, a critical perspective on one of its celebrated artist's, and a personal tribute.

It is a film about a boy who knew what he loved to do in life and was fortunate to make a living doing it.
