The Tangle (2019)
Don't read the words, get the idea
As my friend the Captain Obvious likes to say : The Tangle is not for everyone. So maybe it's not for you either. But guess what ? I don't care, because I'm a selfish person (I'm french, by the way, this explains a lot) and I trully loved this movie from the beginning to the end. I wish from the bottom of my heart that you'll be able to enjoy it as much as I do. But if you don't, don't blame the movie, because it's up to you and you alone to love it or hate it. Or, simply, admit it's good, but not for you.
If you can stand the idea of a frontal collision between film noir and poetry, Sci-Fi and retro vibe, nanobots and anachronism, sweet talk, loud talk, coffee black and a cloud of milk ; if you are able to embrace novelty without question, or rejection, or reluctance, you may love the Tangle, because the movie is so much more than the sum of its parts. It's something like Philip K. Dick trying to write an experimental play (he would have loved it, sure thing).
Actors are brilliants, dialogues are so great they get surreal at times, story is full of twists and turns, but that's not really the point because humanity prevails in all its splendor and shame.
Sure, they speak really, really quick. But hey ! If a froggy like me managed to understand the movie without subtitles, you sure have nothing to complain about.
Yes, there are no gunfights. No car chase. No martials arts. No flying super heroes. No weird camera moves.
But there's much more than that.
There's this tiny miraculous thing my people call "Grand Cinéma".
