Featured review
Rich experience.
Perfectly presents delicate, beautiful topics and strong emotions with a poetic rhythm unrivaled all in midst of the great war and a rich love.
Images gradually falling into darkness as does the love and the world from the previous idyllicacy. There are always negative implications to something so perfect. You are in love, you feel the quiet kiss of the sky, the flowers, the waves, the eyes, but at what cost when the end is so close.
Now, I say this, but not all will view it this way, in fact most will not.
Why?
'Rose-France' is chauvinistic. There's a story worth telling, revolutionary filmmaking techniques and a message worth sharing (in my interpretation). But at the end of the day, it's almost a propaganda film disguised as something rich in emotion. And in this rare case, the disguise close to foolproof.
