As always with Leconte it is a mixe of failure and success, this time more an success.
Both male actors J. Halliday and J. Rochefort assure the support and soul of the film.
The story is conventionnal and the spoken words are terribly French and pretentious...sooo would be intellectual...
Altman is omnipresent in the strory board, but so are a lot of books with this kind of crossing in destiny.Or switching of personnality.
Rochefort is a master, Halliday his willing scholar and this is good.
A quite film. A film for men, who try to live up to the expectaion that nothing compare to men friendship, a myth ?
Well we should know.
Nothing compare to us....
Follow Ups:
Rochefort a master... yes, but a pupil too! And that's the trick - I think they both found in each other the missing parts of their selves.Glad you got to see it, and glad I don't understand French. In fact I missed quite a few subs, watching their faces - they spoke more eloquently.
So - $10 well spent?
I also did look at " the making " ( what I generally do not do ) for making a more precise idea of the people and the atmosphere around the period and spirit of the actors and director.
Well, it confirm my feelings.
I like it and dislike it.
It should have me cost the double...for that..
