LE MILLION reminded me of the more recent, French film, DELICATESSAN.  It is a simple, yet odd little story...with random music and rhythm thrown into the mix.  It is a bit silly and nonsensical, but the enthusiasm by which the film is made and performed is a bit infectious.  The last third of the film takes place at an opera, and there is FAR too much opera going on instead of advancing the plot, but overall, this film was enjoyable.  Michel owes all of his debtors, has won the lottery, but the ticket is in the jacket his girlfriend gave to a mob boss hiding in her apartment, who in turn pawned it to a famous opera singer who is performing as a Bohemian.  I like these films where things have gone SO wrong SO quickly.  Fun.
