Zazie dans le Métro
A brash and precocious ten-year-old comes for a whirlwind weekend with her rakish uncle. The viewer and he have a lot more than they bargained for in this anarchic humor. Based on a popular novel by Raymond Queneau that had been considered unadaptable, Malle's daring Zazie dans le Métro, made with flair to the cusp of the French New Wave, is really actually just a little bit of stream-of-consciousness slap-stick, wall-to-wall with visual gags, editing hints, and effects.
