So, 'Zazie dans le Métro,' that quirky little film from 1960, has this interesting documentary aspect featuring Catherine Demongeot, who was just a kid back then. You get a peek into her life, her interactions with her folks, and the whimsical vibe of the film itself. The interviews by Roy and Dumayet have this casual, almost playful tone that feels like you’re eavesdropping on a charming conversation rather than a formal interview. It’s refreshing, really—and the way it captures the innocence of childhood and the chaos of Paris in the 60s is quite lovely. The atmosphere is rich and warm, and the pacing doesn’t make you rush through it, which is nice for a documentary.
This documentary is somewhat of a rarity and offers a unique perspective on the making of 'Zazie dans le Métro.' Not many collectors focus on these interview pieces, but those that do appreciate the way it captures the essence of the film's lead. It’s intriguing to see how interviews from the era reflect a certain nostalgia that resonates with film enthusiasts. While not widely circulated, it holds a distinct place for collectors interested in the behind-the-scenes narratives of classic French cinema.
