After killing a child when his plane crashes in a Vietnamese village, Pierre suffers from delayed stress and partial amnesia. Returning to France, he lives like a vegetable until he meets a young girl who has been dumped by her father at a boarding school. Posing as her father, Pierre contrives to meet the girl every Sunday, to play with her and perhaps recover his memory. The innocent friendship is misread by nearly everyone, even people who know Pierre well. A classic of old French art films.
Leave your thoughts about Sundays and Cybele.
| AV ClubMike D'AngeloExpect more resistance than usual to the implication that it's a classic ripe for the canon. Changing times do evolve past some things. |
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyThis charming French film about the friendhsip between a German soldier and a French girl was nominated for the 1962 Foreign Language Oscar. |
| Radio TimesDavid ParkinsonSerge Bourguignon won the Oscar for best foreign language film with this self-promoting, arty affair, which countered the stylistic departures of the nouvelle vague by returning to French cinema's much-derided poetic tradition. |
| User ReviewGeneroso FSuch a clear and beatifully simple plot which is lacking in the contemporary cinema. Two castaways and one memory - of a world in lake circles. Remarkable. Just a shame the young actress stopped acting - she has a great talent. |
| User ReviewShawn MWrong in so many ways, but so beautiful. Sniff. |
| User ReviewCatherine RVery touching movie. I saw it 20 years ago and I haven't stopped thinking about it. I guess the psychically damaged character struck a chord. |
| User ReviewByron BA very well made film about a man (Hardy Kruger) who is having trouble adapting to normal life after he accidentally killed a child in a routine bombing mission during the war. He befriends a 12 year old girl whose family has abandoned her. Beautiful photography, especially a particular scene in the forest when they're looking at the water. The young girl and Kruger are perfect together, they never overdo it. A film hard to forget. |
| User ReviewDavid LAbsolute sensitivity... You wish it never ends... |
| User ReviewKyoko Kbeautiful friendship between a man and a girl. and very sad. |
| User ReviewDarryl Chere is one of the most magnificent character studies made. kruger and gozzi are radiant! but particularly gozzi. she was but a child when she made this film. her naturalness and realness in some highly complicated scenes deserves notice in the light of some recent so-called phenomenons. |
