Plot
A young girl visiting her uncle in Paris is determined to ride the metro, and sets off a chaotic comedy.
Sinekatalog’s take
Louis Malle's anarchic comedy follows a foul-mouthed girl loose in Paris, bent on riding the closed metro. Zany, fast and full of cinematic gags, it is a hyperactive, freewheeling charm.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
