Hi there


I am a French film buff. I like to escape through cinematographic works that I systematically see 1) with a minimum of information so as not to be influenced at all by critics and/or crippling spoilers, and 2) in the original language, with subtitles eventually.


I particularly enjoy directors like Akira Kurosawa, Alain Resnais, Alejandro G. Iñárritu, Alfred Hitchcock, Andrei Tarkovsky, Asghar Farhadi, Bertrand Tavernier, Billy Wilder, Charles Chaplin, Christopher Nolan, Claude Chabrol, Claude Sautet, Clint Eastwood, Costa-Gavras, Damien Chazelle, David Fincher, David Lean, David Lynch, Denis Villeneuve, Elia Kazan, Éric Rohmer, Ernst Lubitsch, Ethan Coen and Joel Coen, F.W. Murnau, Federico Fellini, François Ozon, François Truffaut, Frank Capra, Fred Zinnemann, Fritz Lang, George Lucas, George Stevens, Georges Méliès, Gérard Oury, Guy Ritchie, Hayao Miyazaki, Henri Verneuil, Henri-Georges Clouzot, Howard Hawks, Ingmar Bergman, Jacques Audiard, Jacques Demy, James Cameron, James Mangold, Jean Renoir, Jean-Jacques Annaud (until 2002), Jean-Luc Godard, Jean-Pierre Jeunet, Jean-Pierre Melville, John Ford, John Huston, Joseph L. Mankiewicz, Jules Dassin, Ken Loach, Kinuyo Tanaka, Krzysztof Kieslowski, Louis Malle, Luc Besson (until 1998), Luchino Visconti, Luis Buñuel, Marcel Carné, Marcel Pagnol, Martin Scorsese, Michael Curtiz, Michael Haneke, Michael Mann, Michel Gondry, Michel Hazanavicius, Mike Leigh, Mikio Naruse, Milos Forman, Orson Welles, Otto Preminger, Paul Greengrass, Peter Jackson, Philippe Lioret, Quentin Tarantino, Raoul Walsh, René Clément, Richard Brooks, Ridley Scott, Robert Bresson, Sam Mendes, Sergei Eisenstein, Sergio Leone, Sidney Lumet, Stanley Donen, Stanley Kubrick, Steven Spielberg, Tex Avery, Elia Kazan, Walt Disney, Werner Herzog, William Wyler, Woody Allen, Xavier Dolan, Yasujirô Ozu, Yorgos Lanthimos, Zabou Breitman, ... as a not-exhaustive list ...


My favorite film score composers are first Ennio Morricone, John Williams, Michel Legrand. And then Alexandre Desplat, Bernard Herrmann, Éric Serra, Giorgio Moroder, Henry Mancini, John Barry, Maurice Jarre, Vangelis, Yann Tiersen.


My up-to-date list of 10-out-of-10 movies is: King Kong (1933), Modern Times (1936), The Great Dictator (1940), Citizen Kane (1941), 12 Angry Men (1957), Psycho (1960), The Hustler (1961), Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964), Army of Shadows (1969), A Clockwork Orange (1971), One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975), Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977), Alien (1979), Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back (1980), Unforgiven (1992), Pulp Fiction (1994), The Shawshank Redemption (1994), Se7en (1995), Heat (1995), The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001), The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002), The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003), The Departed (2006), Dunkirk (2017)

  • On the Weinstein case and above all the pain of the victims

    Harvey Weinstein was an excellent cinematographic producer with an extraordinary intuition. He was a workaholic and became then a geek without any real friend. He was also a boss as merciless as tyrannical who wouldn't take a « no » for an answer. Until then, it is objectively the public and well-known portrait of Harvey Weinstein before the media emergence of the scandal. Thus, this excellent documentary completes his curriculum vitae with an avalanche of testimonies as poignant as sorrowful. Personally, I was particularly moved by that of Hope Exiner D'Amore.

    Harvey Weinstein was an unscrupulous and pathetic predator who shamefully abused his power. The description of his cv is now finished, as is his career.

  • A subtle comedy with an extreme sensitivity

    Jean-René Van Den Hugde (nm068814) and Angélique Delange (Isabelle Carré) both suffer from heavy relational difficulties: in public, they quickly lose their intellectual abilities and are unable to express their emotion without feeling a deep discomfort, an uncontrollable anxiety, fainting, ... Their common passion for chocolate will bring them together and Jean-René will hire Angélique who turns out to be a brilliant and creative chocolate maker while Jean-René runs a small chocolate factory on the verge of bankruptcy. They were meant to fall in love!

    As a synthesis: an efficient and original love story with two marvelous actors

  • Talk about others to better forget one's own emptiness

    Abandoned by a 17-year-old unmarried mother, Claire (Karin Viard) became the host of a famous talk show. Nevertheless, all her (tiny!) entourage find her distant and hardly fulfilled: she ostensibly avoids the company of people. In fact, she suffers. Internally and intensely. Her behavior is close to a permanent self-penitence with quite sad habits: she sleeps in her closet, probably to better isolate herself from the 'noise' and be alone with the memory of her mother. With all the frustration that can be imagined, until a private detective finds the trace of her mother ...

    Excellent actress game. Karin Viard is perfect, although sometimes excessive And this is the first film directed by Pierre Pinaud: one thumb up! 6/7 of 10.
