It may be that i'm a late admirer of Tavernier's work but why don't we have the synopsis of "L'appât" (La Carnada is how we know it in México) and "Ça commence aujourd'hui", it may be that it is not his best work but i really admire him and i have a great anecdote when i met him in Morelia Film Festival. He was right beside me prior to enter to Reygadas's Stellet Licht and Tavernier was a main guest in that Festival but nobody recognized him when we were making the lane, so being such an admirer of his work i couldn't avoid to talk to him and tell him in my almost horrid french that i really liked his film "L'appât" and i really loved Marie Gillain, i completely forgot he was the auteur of Ça commence aujourd'hui, he advise me something about seeing his late film Laissez-Passer but i really wasn't going to stay the whole festival... After all he wasn't going to enter to Reygada's film, he was just waiting a taxi (with some assistant) and it happens to be right beside me, but it was great and he actually sign my program and i'm very proud of it.

the trains, the movement, the characters, the colors, the stories, the music, the loneliness, the lost lovers, the cities, the lights, tony leung... great director

Siempre quise ver esta película desde que se exhibió por primera vez aquí en la ciudad de México en el 17o Foro Internacional de la Cineteca en mayo del '97 pero fue hasta ahora que pude verla aquí en The Auteurs y me ha encantado, tanto visualmente como los textos, es ya una de mis favoritas. Gracias por hacerla accesible por este medio.

Sin duda mi película favorita tanto por la historia, que te deja sin aliento en el momento culminante de la trama y visualmente exquisita.

tout ce que je suis vient d'avoir vu cette film.

Me encanta esta película... visualmente, la historia, la música, Zhang Ziyi, Tony Leung.
