Je rentre à la maison (2001)
Interesting film
One may be surprised by the first scene of this film. One expects something else but finding oneself in a theater for a Eugene Ionesco play. I dare say that these excerpts of well-known plays are a good hint for the main character's life, an old actor who lives mainly for his art, more on stage than at home (the loss of his family makes him leave in a hurry, but he never cries for that). As a Ionesco fan, I salute the choice of "Le roi se meurt". As a Picoli fan I am surprised a bit by his look, but, well, I was young once, log time ago, and so was he. Anything goes to an end on earth and an actor's career can't last forever. Still, the end is quite surprising, honestly, I thought Valance could resume his work the next day. All in all, I liked the film and I am glad I could see it.
Oscar et la dame rose (2009)
A lifetime in twelve days
I cam tell one thing: if I had known the story I was going to see I certainly wouldn't have started. I don't really like this kind of extremely sad films, especially when they are are about sick children. But I started watching the movie and, even if I have used a lot of tissues to dry my eyes, I am kind of happy I have. On the one hand, it is a sad story, but, on the other hand, it is a very optimistic one. This rough lady in pink finds solutions where the gentle doctor has failed to. Medicine is beaten, humanity is not. The dialogue between the pizza lady and the sick boy is an example (of course, unrealistic sometimes) of psychologists' talent. Oscar is desperate and alone in his fatal malady, but his new friend fills his life and brings back everybody to him: his parents, the nurses and even his "girlfriend". It is somehow a therapy and a family therapy for Rose, who regains her son and daughter. And, finally, it is a therapy for the doctor himself, who gets his self-confidence back. What a pity it takes the death of a little boy fr his spectacular gains ... All in all, the acting is great, but ... I confess I am a little worried for the young actors who played. How much this "game" will influence there lives?
Actiunea Zuzuc (1984)
Opinion
It is the first time I see the film today, more than 30 years after its being produced. It certainly does not suit the memories I have from that time, but that is not the question. The film is neither a propaganda for the socialist way of life in the 80's, nor a fiction, based on pure imagination. It is the story of a 13 year old boy, whose parents are divorced, and for that he is rebellious. It is also the story of a young Militia officer who tries to intervene in the relationship between the boy and the rest of the world. And, unlike someone said before, it is nothing like propaganda; surprisingly, no word is said about Ceausescu! All in all, i liked the film, not considering it as a fairy tale but just a tale.
