## Before you buy

- The listing identifies the aspect ratio as “Unknown”, so the presentation’s ratio is not confirmed in the supplied details. The title and feature copy describe a UK-only Criterion edition, while the listing also gives Austria as the country of origin and Spirit Entertainment as the studio. Confirm the selected edition and player compatibility before buying.

## A good fit for

- Viewers who enjoy French musicals, Jacques Demy’s work or Catherine Deneuve’s performance.
- Collectors seeking both UHD and Blu-ray copies plus documentary and archival material.
- Buyers interested in a 4K restoration and a choice of surround or mono audio.

## Less suited to

- Viewers who prefer films with mostly spoken dialogue, since the film is described as entirely sung.
- Buyers who need a confirmed aspect ratio before choosing a video edition.

## Customer feedback

Customer feedback highlights the haunting signature tune, story, colourful visuals and Catherine Deneuve’s performance, with praise also describing the film as original and worthwhile. The reported reservation is its vocal approach: every line is sung rather than spoken, and opinions on the vocals are mixed. That distinction matters because the all-sung format is central to the film, while the listed audio choices concern playback rather than changing its presentation.
- Positive themes: Customer feedback praises the music, story, visuals, originality and Deneuve’s performance.
- Mixed feedback: Feedback is mixed on the vocals, with some noting that every line is sung rather than spoken.
