This is a little gem. It does not seem to travel very far and yet the central character makes an extraordinary journey.
(Country: France; Year: 2006; Director: Gerald Hustache-Mathieu; Writer: Gerald Hustache-Mathieu; Stars: Sophie Quinon, Miou-miou, Clement Sibony, Nicholas Duvauchelle, Richaud Valls, Genevieve Casile)
Before I Forget is a study not only of one man's journey but also of a way of life which, in brittle contact with the modern world, is fast disappearing.
(Country: France; Year: 2007; Director: Jacques Nolot; Writer: Jacques Nolot; Stars: Jacques Nolot, Jean-Pol Dubois, Marc Rioufol, Bastien d'Asnières, Gaetano Weysen-Volli, Bruno Moneglia, David Kessler)
The acting is poor... comedy feels forced and unrequited.
(Country: France; Year: 2006; Director: Emmanuel Mouret; Writer: Emmanuel Mouret; Stars: Emmanuel Mouret, Frédérique Bel, Fanny Valette, Dany Brillant, Ariane Ascaride, Claire Breniaux, Clément Delmas, Magali Leroy, Jérôme Flaum, Frédéric Niedermayer, Hans Joachim Kruse)
Some might consider Sandrine’s documentary an act of courage in the pursuit of truth, while others, distressed by the exposure of her sister's humiliation, may see it as an intrusion into personal grief.
(Country: France; Year: 2007; Director: Sandrine Bonnaire; Writer: Sandrine Bonnaire, Catherine Cabrol; Stars: Sabine Bonnaire)
The minor characters are beautifully realised, intriguing and often sympathetic despite their sometime unpleasantness.
