The L-Shaped Room

Britain Leslie Caron

Outstanding film...as good as any ever out of England. A young French woman, pregnant, takes a room in a ramshackle boarding house, meets the assorted inhabitants, finds love for the first time, loses it and moves on.

Exquisitely acted by LC...ably supported by a host of talented British character actors. Great, economical direction...nice use of Brahms as musical motif. Lean, tight, engaging.

One of the forgotten gems of world cinema.
