Avant qu'il ne soit trop tard (2005)
Very pleasant moment!
What a nice movie! Great casting gathering French new talents (Frédéric Diefenthal, Emilie Dequenne, Olivier Sitruk, Arthur Jugnot, Lisa Martino, Manuel Blanc, Edouard Montoute, Elodie Navarre, Eric Savin, Vanessa Larre), intelligent story combining action, emotion and humor, smart lines, beautiful pictures... This film is a real oxygen bubble! It tackles crucial ideas, leaves you with good questions to think about (How can you deal with death? When do you become a grown-up? Is love eternal? What is your definition of fidelity? Is friendship indestructible? Is it always necessary to say the truth? What are you supposed to do with your life?...). And finally, it makes you realize how short life is and makes you want to get the best of it! Don't miss it!
Nos enfants chéris (2003)
Notre film chéri
Definitely the best film I have seen this year so far. Two exes meet up in the supermarket and invite their new families on holiday. More friends turn up. They all live in a beautiful countryside house, they're on holiday, the weather is sunny, the kids are cute, there is good food and good wine, everything seems to be just perfect... But the confrontation of all these so-called "friends" and of their different ways of living reveals frustration, sadness, fear, hatred! The two exes realize they still love each other (or is it just the will to escape from their lives?) and that they have just taken the wrong train and are wasting their time and lives! They have built the perfect image of happiness, not the one they wanted, but the one social clichés imposes on all of us (stability, wedding, kids...). The eternal fight between reason and passion, between the mind and the heart! All actors do a great job, lines are just excellent, a layer of funny words on bitter themes... Very very funny, smart, touching and not boring at all, go and see it, films of this quality are too rare to be missed!!!
