 | Bought the DVD after remembering the photo of a space-suited Angela Lindvall in a magazine the year the movie was released. Money well spent. The recreation of late 60s Europe is well done as is the purposely cheesy film-within-the-film. Perhaps it will lead to "Danger: Diabolik" and other genuine 60s films for you. |

| A great film. It captures something about that era and that kind of moviemaking that no other film ever has. When I heard Roman was going to do this, I knew it would be perfect. After seeing the videos he directed for the Strokes, it was obvious that he had the perfect style for it. A great performance by Jeremy Davies. Angela (the girl who plays Dragonfly) is gorgeous. And Giancarlo Gianini completely channels the spirit of Dino De Laurentis. This film is a joy to watch. I'd suggest seeing maybe Barbarella or Danger: Diabolik to get some footing on the era, but it's not necessary. It's nice to know movies this personal are still being made. |

| Rating | | | Date | April 21, 2004 | | Summary | Excellent DVD for three films within one | Content
| There are tons of specials within this disc so that makes worthwhile purchase in value especially considering that this film didn't make that much of a fuss in the theatres. OK the film is actually about three films. 1)The introspective short film made by the protagonist who is the editor/director of a 60's B-movie. 2)That 60's B-movie and 3)The making of both of those films behind the scenes. It truly evokes a past era of filmmaking. It's a mild film, but I can see where people who are interested in film style of the past, this would be essential. Good job, Roman Coppola. |

| CQ really is a treasure. I was first intrigued by this film when I saw the soundtrack lying in a local bookstore. I thought it was a film from the 60's, but sure enough there was a cast that included modern-day players like Jeremy Davies, Billy Zane and the ever-quirky Jason Schwartzman. I found the film and was really intrigued by it for a long, long time. Finally I decided to buy it, without even viewing it first. And I'm very happy I did. CQ is a real delight about the little guy rising up and taking charge. Jeremy Davies is really enjoyable as Paul Ballard, a young American filmmaker living in Paris, searching for his inner-self. Angela Lindvall gives a suprisingly real and sweet performance as Valentine and a sexy, cat-like performance as Dragonfly. I was surprised that this was her first film. The extras on this DVD are very unique and watchable. In closing, CQ is a really fun, well-written, well-directed film and my advice is that you buy it! |
