Rating: 4/5 --
To luxuriate in the film's 3-hour, 10-minute length is to experience this masterpiece as it hasn't been experienced since the day it opened.

Poetry with a capital "P," sprinkled with fairy dust.
New Yorker
...One of the glories of cinema....The film celebrates freedom of spirit with passion...
Total Film
If you give this movie time to work on you, the elements that seem overly artificial or impossibly distant from our own time fade into insignificance, and you're left with a complicated and wonderful romantic drama that's full of surprises.

Don't skip this one if you can. I saw it in Paris and it remains one of the most memorable pictures I've seen.

California Eagle
...One of the few films that has the durability and emotional texture of a great 19th-Century novel. As a piece of romantic/dramatic cinema, its peers are few, its superiors quite simply nonexistent...
Los Angeles Times
...It's paradise to see the film's famed Boulevard of Crime -- 1840s Paris as street carnival -- rendered with revived sparkle after its negative's 57-year workout...
