Rock'n Roll

Ironic perspective about middle age crisis, great French actors - and not only french, humor, lovely Marillon Cotillard and Guillaume Canet as a mix of Ken and hulk, large zones of parody, pure satire about cinema industry and men or women feeling not so...rock.

The fun is basic purpose . And the nice acting gives, scene by scene, new prooves for this.

A good point - the meeting between Ben Fosse and Guillaume Canet.

Bizarre , maybe awful, the transformation ( sure , you know to be a question of prosthetics but... ).

In short, easy comedy in essence, with few good sparkles about immaturity, love, family and exces to save apparences - career.

This film although funny in parts sounds more like an inside joke than anything else. Two ace actors seemingly playing at acting and around the craft of acting; like watching Jimi Hendrix playing before a gig; warming up. The storyline is pitiful and could only resonate with 40-something actors. I am a huge fan of both actors here and rate Tell No One (Ne le dis à personne) as one of the best movies of the last 20 years; but this here I shall say it again seems like an inside joke; something you dreamt up and or thought of doing but should probably not have allowed to get a real airing ... At times you seriously question the sanity of the endeavour. Maybe therapeutic :) Shame. Still: watch it if you like Canet and Cotillard.

I've watched this movie multiple times because I'm a fan of Guillaume Canet and Marion Cotillard. I've worked internationally in the film industry and enjoyed this twist of having a male actor deal with aging versus the usual issues with women but that said I feel like the film could have not indulged in the very chubby faced Camille and the make up lady. I think her name is Jeanne something. I forget her full name. Besides small pores and trendy red lipstick, it felt like the filmmakers wanted the best of both worlds...young plain 'beauty' vs stunning talent. OK at 25 you can pull some guys like that but I predict neither of these girls will have any longevity. We'll see how it goes as time moves on. The film is hilarious. But only because of the actors with experience.

I had the good fortune of having a tiny speaking part in this movie, a first for me. The Director and Star of the movie, Mr Guillaume Canet, is a charming and very gracious person and made us all feel comfortable and welcome. The movie is about an actor who fears he is no longer at his peak at only the age of about 43 and all the drastic measures he takes to recreate himself in a younger image. I think all people at a certain age can relate to this, but especially film actors. His cast is made up of several famous French actors and actresses playing themselves, including the director's real life partner Marion Cottilard. This is a comedy and there are some really funny moments but it is also full of pathos as you see the man go through near hell to try to become physically younger and ruin his looks and nearly ruin his marriage. Great performance from Mr Canet who co-wrote the script. And he surrounded himself with actor friends and even a few family members to make the film even more personal. it was a marvelous experience for me and i think the film is a great way to spend 2 hours and enjoy seeing the inside of the French cinema world.

the movie "Rock'n Roll" shot by Guillaume Canet is quite entertaining yet disclosing film of what it's like to be an actor in modern day. characters have their real names, action happens on a daily basis and that gives movie documentary esthetic. Marion Cotillard plays her role in an extremely good way as always.the movie is full of funny scenes.All in all it show how over-commercialized is film industry and how it destroys your identity and the way of living.
