The Documentaries of Louis Malle: Vive Le Tour / Humain, Trop Humain / Place de la Republique

Eclipse Series 2 - The Documentaries of Louis Malle (Vive le Tour / Humain, Trop Humain / Place de la République / Phantom India / Calcutta / God's Country ... of Happiness) (The Criterion Collection)
2 stars
"Vive Le Tour" is brilliant, but the other two documentary features included on the disc are overly long and boring. "Place de la Republique" in particular suffers from a lack of narrative. I thoroughly enjoyed Malle's revealing glimpse into the annual Tour de France. You may want to steer clear of the other two.
