Review of À l'attaque!

À l'attaque! (2000)
Original but stifled talent.
22 October 2003
From the director of A LA PLACE DU COEUR, but inarguably a lesser work. Two scriptwriters holed up in Guediguian's favorite city - Marseille, are collaborating on a movie being shot there. They cannot agree on certain aspects of the script and end up squabbling.

Utilising the tried and tested "film within a film" technique, the viewer sees the "alternative" scripts actually played out. In the end though we are not sure whether we are watching a comedy or a drama with little or no central core.

Certainly worth seeing but eminently forgettable.
