Breakinger A Brilliant Conflict
ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
Scotty Burke It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review
leplatypus Well, even if it's Geraldine's husband, i stay honest and says that this movie bores me ! It's exactly the same content as Almost Famous about the up and coming of a rock band ! I suppose i don't have this rock spirit as i only see limited and lazy artists, drinking, smoking pot or whatever, shagging girls and breaking things… I don't understand what's is good doing that… Here the connection is certain to never happen as their songs are rather hollow and stupid (When you wake up next morning, don't worry i will be faraway, whatever you want it or not !!!! Ouah !! such existentialism, such passion !). The stage is this usual dark, crowded, old place that asks you to leave at once…Sure there is rock and roll as Geraldine turns blonds and shake this lethargic band but except this, i had a deep sleep
richwgriffin-227-176635 This is an excellent rock musical with a twist: the rock group is French! Marc-Andre Grondin and Arthur Dupont excel in the lead roles - 2 best friends who have unexplored jealousy and deeper unexplored secrets each is keeping from the other.The music is terrific and I don't even really like rock n' roll all that much! The editing and sound of the music sequences is excellent, and I especially like the scenes in the studio and the creating of the music.Each and every character is differentiated and interesting. The camera work is stellar and all aspects of film-making add richly to the finished film.What I like most about this movie is the complexity of each of the characters and the intelligence of the characters. If this was an American film, the dialogue would be "dumbed down".The women are the film are fascinating, particularly the female record producer and her relationship with the drummer in the group.I am grateful for TV5MONDE for airing this movie!
