one of the film critics (Denby or Lane)for The New Yorker liked this film very much (and L'Homme du Tren," as well). BTW, Hallyday was quite good playing a soldier in a movie I saw years ago...set in Vietnam (a listing of his films would disclose the title, of course). I think it had "iron" in the title, perhaps "The Iron Triangle?"
Follow Ups:
The problem is, for us French Pseudo intellectuel snobs that J. Halliday, is relatively vulgaire and was in his language...not very well outspoken...They use to make jokes on him...AND he was in the sixties against the hippies....even he did make money with every flavor of the moment...When B. Dylan was in Paris he lived in his house...that was chocking back then....
He made quite a few good songs.
I never could connect to him.But he deserve all the respect for his very long artistic life and his " fureur de vivre ".
One of the SACD / DVD-A inmate Eric from Paris make me a present of his new (SA)CD...and it is not bad at all...PS : There are good reviewers, helas, very seldomly....
***AND he was in the sixties against the hippiesThat does it, Patrick! The man had vision and brain - that proves it.
That alone puts him in the top category in my book - next to Gregory Peck and Marcello!
I HAD THIS CERTAIN FEELING...that you would say that !
I certainly wasn´t an hippy but on the " Promenade des Anglais " in Nice we took our guitars and played on, let our grow longer...and never leaved our home town...Fils de bourgeoies....
We had fun and love was in as they said in the air..The girls an easy out take...Like an pizza to go... It was the indestructible force of the youth.
Where were you ? In some dark goulag ?
Without red wine ?
Tell us the truth !
Hallyday was a " Rocker "
That do NOT make him more sympatico.
Well, the late sixties and early seventies were extremely opressive in the USSR... it was no joke, but perhaps in this area it had positive effect - less societal trash surfaced.Some of us did grow long hair - I did - but it took real courage, not like in the West. We played our guitars too, but there were severe limitations on where and what.
Getting girls to have sex was super-hard, as the communist morals were as strong as ever. Great majority of them entered their marriages virgins... I am ashamed to admit.
People would still be arrested back then for writing wrong poetry - typically sent to the mental institutions.
Not really fun times.
Super-hard was a condition sine quanum here too, to have sex.( ah, the French ! )
The funny side was that my father loved the party and Russia, he study politics in Moscow before the last war...and remind fidel till his death.
We were lucky.They stole us things too...( Charles was VERY catholic, and censure was in the air) but that, of course doesn´t compare to your fate.
And explain your allergies to everything that come near your sentiment of freedom.
I feel the same.
