Viva Maria! (1965)
9/10
Visually stunning, with a beautiful music soundtrack
4 August 2012
Just watched this film again after seeing it many years ago. It stands up well. Moreau and Bardot are fascinating to watch, together and apart, esp. in their musical numbers. Hard to take your eyes off them when they're on screen, which is most of the time.

The many songs are catchy and the soundtrack score is absolutely beautiful--one of the best film scores I've heard in a long time. It captures both the epic quality of some of the excellent action scenes as well as the charm of a long-ago time in the slower, recurring themes-- gorgeous.

The whole movie is unlike anything I've seen in ages. Well worth a viewing.
