It's a very touching and wonderful film, although it took me a little while to get used to the style -- the trailer said it was reminiscent of Buster Keaton, so I was expecting more of a gentle slapstick. It's funny, to be sure, but in a very slow and contemplative way. It owes a lot to Tati's films, and of course to Truffaut. I didn't even realize who that old man sitting on the bench was until I was reading about the film after I saw it.

Speaking of Francois Truffaut, does anyone think that "What Time is it There" owes a lot to Truffaut?

Besides the fact that Mr. Doinel himself is in it, what other connection do you think it has to Truffaut?
