The Best Way to Walk Reviews

It is once again a rather obscure French movie which not much people have seen here in Listal. It was the directing début of Claude Miller, a very good French director who passed away recently and never really reached a great success abroad which is too bad. Anyway, this movie was probably his best, at least, that’s my opinion. Indeed, first of all, there is a great title which was inspired by a holiday camp song which I was not familiar with. Then, it dealt with a holiday camp (une colonie de vacances), something really French, and it was based on Claude Miller’s own experience. I used to go in such camps every summer so the story was quite recognizable (my mother made me go there and, as a matter of fact, I really hated it). Eventually, the best aspect of this flick were the two main characters, very well played by Patrick Dewaere and Patrick Bouchitey. Indeed, it is basically a very subtle and fascinating character study, something the French excel at.  To conclude, even though it is a really obscure flick, it is actually a really good drama and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you are interested in French movies.
