  1. Superbe….

    Images réalistes, à la limite du surréalisme…

    Montage entêtant…

    Dualité entre partie en Noir et Blanc et Couleur:
    Présent, Passé, Espoir…

    Belle trouvaille.

    Cordialement.

  2. A beautiful movie. The funiculars emerged quite often randomly, like Hitchcock in his films. And it was obvious how populated a town looks like, when people are mostly pedestrians and not car drivers.

  3. Jihel, merci pour ton commentaire… il ne faut pas oublier aussi la voix de Roger Pigaut qui donne tout son relief au commentaire

    Martin, yes you must be very attentive to note each emergence of the lifts…

  4. Super – not only funiculars but also trolleybuses and a very brief appearance of an electric locomotive!
