Yes, and his late-era hairstyle from Baptiste's first scene. MJ is well-documented fan and borrower of this movie. The estates of Marcel Carné and Jacques Prévert each became fabulously wealthy after copyright lawsuits against Jackson - and yet MJ still professed love for the movie and it's creators. He said they deserved every penny they got.
sharereally ? in an interview, I heard Jodorowsky say he invented that move.
Your poetry will now be written with blood
Hahaha I thougt the same thing about Mj getting the Moonwalk...
share:) I was thinking about that too.
shareI remember watching this film years ago. Can’t remember a thing about it, aside from that it was on Sight and Sound top ten films ever for a while.
share:) Not a strong recommendation then.

It was all right, but I agree with the person who said it needed a Garbo or Dietrich to really work.
