You MUST see it to know how indescribably clever and enormously "smart" a movie CAN be!
Debt-ridden painter Michel is overcome with joy at discovering that he has just won 1 million florins in the Dutch lottery, but almost immediately, he discovers that his softhearted girlfriend, Béatrice, has given away his jacket containing the winning ticket to an elderly petty thief. Soon Michel, Beatrice and Michel's artistic rival, Prosper, are hurtling through the streets of Paris on the trail of the missing jacket.

Really strange, but beautiful film. A quasi-musical, with many characters singing their lines or breaking into chorus, it follows the story of a lottery winner trying to track down his ticket against all odds. There were a few moments where I lost sight of the narrative thread--the characters sometimes came and went without me fully understanding their motivations, but it all added up to a lot of fun. I remember liking the Clair movies I watched in college, and this would be one I'd like to rewatch.
Very nice little film. Extremely enjoyable. Funny.
