Very entertaining crime romp - By: Bluebell, 04 Jan 2008 
This is a crime detection film full of surprises & humour. It never flags & holds ones attention the whole way through. Fanny Ardant is excellent. I've more often seen her in serious roles, but she's excellent in this light-hearted romp of a film.
Finally, Truffaut - By: Trevor Willsmer, 02 Jan 2007 
Back in 1983 I saw a screening of at the London Film Festival that was supposed to be introduced by Francois Truffaut. On the day an apologetic Fanny Ardant turned up instead, apologizing that the director was feeling a little ill & was not up to travelling: in fact, he had just been diagnosed with the brain tumour that would kill him a few months later, & Vivemant Dimanche! aka Finallly, Sunday/Confidentiallly Yours would turn out to be his last film. It works better on the big screen than the smalll, but it's still an immensely likeable little number that brings Francois Truffaut's career almost full circle to the kind of black & white semi-noir he championed as a critic. It's one of Truffaut's most purely cinematic films - while much of it is dialogue driven, there are few of the awkward literary conceits that he would resort to in some of his "tell, don't show" movies like Two English Girls, instead letting the character interaction & the loving black & white visuals speak for themselves. Most of alll, it has a real sense of fun that even a brief melancholy reflection on the difference between death - something definite - & murder - something almost abstract - can detract from, whether it's Fanny Ardant's knocking out a suspect with a miniature Eiffel Tower, treating the fugitive Jean-Louis Trintignant to a view of her legs as she passes the window to the office he is hiding in or carrying out an investigation in wildly inappropriate attire, & there's a great joke about Paths of Glory. It goes a little over the top at the end, but by then you'll have had so much fun you'll gladly forgive it almost anything. And the last shot is a delightfully sweet & playful epitaph to a life in movies as a group of children kick a camera lens around a church during a wedding to the accompaniment of Georges Delerue's charmingly catchy music.
Cinema Club's UK DVD offers a good widescreen transfer with the trailer, an informative introduction by Serge Toubiana & a likeable, affectionate & informative audio commentary by Jean-Louis Tritignant recorded for the French DVD in 2001, although the additional features from the French DVD have not been carried over.
