A masterpiece.
Movies don't come more original, inventive, or outlandishly entertaining.

Slly, sublime, buoyant mischief that is virtually without parallel in 20th-century art, much less 20th-century film.
One of the best titles in movie history and a cast to match.
In the nearly 30 years since the movie was released (it won an Oscar for Best Foreign Film in 1972), one forgets how falling-about-funny is this mad caper.
If there's a granddaddy of breezy situationalism, it's probably Buñuel.
It seems pompous and scattershot now -- a tweaking of privileged European smugness that unfolds with a playful daisy-chain logic but has the tone of a quaint, doddering lecture.
