A very inventive film from Marcel Carné, who created some amazing films back in the 1930s known as part of the poetic realism. The narrative is very peculiar, as the end of the whole film is the first thing that is shown, and then the rest of the story …

One of my favourite films of all time is Some Like It Hot, starring Marilyn Monroe, Tony Curtis, Jack Lemmon and directed by Billy Wilder.
