L'amour monstre de tous les temps

L'amour monstre de tous les temps (1977)

*** (out of 4)

Walerian Borowczyk directed this ten-minute short film that has Tannhauser Ouverture going full blast the entire time. We start off by seeing various people walking through the crowded streets and then we bounce to a man doing some sort of art. As the film progresses we see a painting being done and finally it's full creation is revealed. This film, also known as THE GREATEST LOVE OF ALL TIME, is a pretty darn good film and I'm sure many will take away some sort of meaning in it. Honestly, I don't know if the director was trying to say anything or not but I do know that this was one of the more entertaining shorts that I've seen from the director. The music is perfectly used and I thought the various images were excellent and together you just get dragged into the picture. There's certainly nothing ground-breaking here but this is a very entertaining film.
