Atomik Circus - Le retour de James Bataille (2004)
A must avoid - except for the few nice lines from B. Poelvoorde
This definitely stroke below my lowest move fan's expectations. Aliens strike a remote country village during a song contest. Vanessa Paradis is the village's only music talent and daughter of the bartender. Her convict boyfriend is in town after escaping from prison, so is Benoit Poelvoorde as a funky impresario on a business trip. Aliens strike and everybody dies in a pseudo-arty style, where gore meets spaghetti western. The girl and the convict land another dimension (sic) and the credits finally appear. Do yourself a favor and avoid this one. All you will miss are the few funny lines of B. Poelvoorde who once again demonstrates natural comedic talent - although not hugely different from past performances e.g. Podium, Le Vélo,...
La vita è bella (1997)
To those who don't seem to have understood...
To you people who say that this movie desecrates anyone or the memory of anyone, I want to ask you to think about the purpose of this movie.
Do you really think that its purpose is to say that we should forget the whole thing and laugh loud at the skinny guys on the pictures???
When I saw it I laughed, all right. But it's not like when you laugh about a joke, it's a lot different. I can't really explain that but I can tell you that at no time at all I had forgotten about it.(and I'm only 19 and not jewish)
Someone on the imdb called those who liked the movie naive and ignorant people. I find these words very offending, not to me but to the beauty of the movie for it is beautiful, whatever anyone may say. Such assumptions make me think of those who burnt witches in the Middle Age or worse...
I don't think that anyone has forgotten how awful the holocaust was and I don't think we'll ever do even if we look at it the way Benigni made us.
The Hi-Lo Country (1998)
Are people deaf?
I have to admit it, The Hi-Lo Country is not the best movie ever made. However I did have a very good time watching it and it left me with that strange feeling that you sometimes get when a movie strikes you right in the heart.
By the way, there is something else: the music, I mean I've read a lot of comments about this movie and I can't remember of any mentioning the music! I may be the only one but I really loved that deep powerful instrumental song.
