It was common for the earliest film makers to remake some one else's film, but it took a while before they started remaking their own..... usually after some technical advance had made them able to do something a bit different. But just as there's more than one way to skin a cat -- or so they tell me -- there's more than one way to demolish a wall. Me, I prefer sledgehammers, but these guys like crowbars. This being a French film, I'll note chacun à son goût and leave it at that. It's a Lumiere film, so it's impeccable.
