Guinguette (1959)
Renée dite Guinguette, a former prostitute, has earned enough money on the Parisian sidewalk to buy her dream: a waterfront guinguette. Her new lover, Marco, offers her the use of an unused adjoining barn to store the second-hand cars he trades in. But the "used" cars are actually stolen, and the charming Marco is a bad boy. After a few deaths and various vicissitudes, love finally triumphs.

What a freaking movie. So many twists and turns. Absolutely intense from start to finish.
Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.
Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.
Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.
