Summary:A brash and precocious ten-year-old comes to Paris for a whirlwind weekend with her rakish uncle. Based on a popular novel by Raymond Queneau that had been considered unadaptable it is a bit of stream of consciousness slapstick, wall to wall with visual gags, editing tricks and effects.

Review by Library Journal Review

Louis Malle, whose later movies include Pretty Baby, Atlantic City, and My Dinner with Andre, cut his teeth in France with adventurous fare most curiously represented by Moon¡s surrealistic mix of fantasy and reality centered on the apparent dream life of a mixed-up teenage girl. Metro takes a more conventional route with its giddy story about the exploits of a potty-mouthed gamine frolicking around Paris with her beleaguered uncle (the wonderful Philippe Noiret) in tow. For avid French-cinema devotees. (c) Copyright 2011. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
