Peur sur le lac (2020)
Visionnary
Crazy outstanding, the contrast between the Covid reality and this fiction is quite striking. The acting and the plot is excellent. The story is so good about the reality of the quiet idyllic town and crazy sub "no-go" zones
De Gaulle, l'éclat et le secret (2020)
Very disappointing
This is so cheeky and cheesy, what a disappointment to see Samuel Labarthe in this "Naufrage". The director has made a Theatrical performance not a series. The credibility is going down episode by episode. It is difficult to decide which of Malraux or Pompidou is the worst interpretation! Malraux is interpreted as an escapee of "La Cage aux Folles" and Pompidou looks like Don Corleon from "The GodFather". Bad, very bad...It looks like this series was designed to kill a second time De Gaulle, this time under a flood of pink marshmallows!
L'accident (2016)
Excellent serie about life in a sleepy seaside resort
If you liked Broadchurch or Hinterland you will appreciate L'Accident. Brittany is not England but the characters and the plot portray well the despair of the French provincial middle class. The characters are real, you can spend sometime in Brest, Quimper or Rennes and you will this mix of people struggling to get by and enjoy their life.
Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets (2017)
Superbe
The first 10 minutes were a bit slow, but you began to get immerse in this universe. Soon you forget it is a movie and it is a wonderful journey (I did see the 3D version). I grew up in France and I read the Valerian comic in the 70's so I see more Star Wars taking reference from Valerian than the reverse but I can understand the weirdness of this world for an American viewer. In fact most critics did not get on this superb epic.
À bras ouverts (2017)
Excellent! Outstanding actors superb scenario
Whoa! what a wave of laugh. Best comic movie of the year. Christian is the best parody of Bernard Henry Levy. A must see..Some many scene and dialog will become cult. The best part is the arrival. The movie has been deemed racist by the Franch Socialist Socialite and it is not in any way. It is just a parody of the French Socialist Intelligentsia.
