If Keith Moon directed a film

If Keith Moon directed a film, this would be the result. Zazie dans le Metro SHOULD have overshadowed Breathless’ success and influence in 1960, joining the essential canon of French New Wave cinema like The 400 Blows and Hiroshima Mon Amour, for I genuinely believe, at least on a technical level, that this is one of the greatest films ever made. So, so, so, much more audacious, inventive and jaw-droppingly stunning with its storytelling, editing, jump-cuts and chaos, no two shots are the same and there’s always something crazy happening in each frame. Of all the films ever made that just completely evoke the cartoon aesthetic, immaturity and logic, this is it, right here, the best of them all. The way you would surrender yourself and just roll along with the absurdity of an episode of Spongebob, you would do the same here, just watch, and have the absolute joyous time of your life, because above all, that’s what this film is and what it represents, pure freedom, joy and love amidst the chaos of everyday absurdity.
