Movie: Meet with French Cinema 2009

Despite the fact that will always be a balance of foreign decent price, without loss of distributed, lives in New York offers a kind of staging in the world of cinema. To this end, programs such as the date of the French film, Lincoln Center Film Society's annual survey of the entire film, as L'Hexagon redundant at first glance. But every year comes with its successes and blunders, offering everything from crime drama, epics matzos lush to dry conditions. As a result, 2009 is no exception to this rule.

This year, Triumph, Claire Denis amazing 35 shots rum () may be easier in tone and theme than the previous year - in Heartbeat Detector, Nicolas Klotz - but no less disturbing and memorable for them. Train conductor's widow (the great Alex descending ) lives with her daughter Josephine (Mati Diop) in the same apartment complex of his former girlfriend and the intention of Josephine. Four collected and merged at the same time, the decision to whom and for living. According to Dennis, 35 shots is a film about love, but film about his commitment to the most obvious forms. Denis over the stage of intoxication is four lost souls, from the rain and the night in a small cafe, where jealousy, greed and fear of drifting, as if they were molecules of air that we breathe. There is a master filmmaker, as Dennis with things like the last, apparently, the greatness of blindness.

Denis' latest film to find its Mesrine: Public Enemy number 1 (). This is a loud show, to a reduction in 240 minutes of life of Jacques Mesrine (Vincent Cassel), the most famous of modern criminal procedure was known, killed by police in an ambush in 1979. After his adventures from his time as a soldier during the war in Algeria, through a series of leaks, a large number of women, and half a dozen associates, the director, Jean - Francois Richet never skimps on the machismo and the movie fills in the list of actor Mathieu Amalric, Gerard Depardieu, Ludivine Sagnier , Olivier Gourmet, and Cecile de France. And a bit cranky, as it is, the little animated film, kinetic Cassel-compulsive Watchable pure act of bravery.

Depardieu, and another Frenchman met the legend - the director Claude Chabrol - in passable Bellamy (), his deceased son, Guillaume, have left their indelible mark on two films: Stella and Versailles (). Although I am first, second, good meal for a young man who flies under the flag of the homeless, benefits greatly from the presence Depardieu angle. The young actor died from complications of pneumonia last October, two months to the day after the premiere of the film in France. Versailles, of course, do not slap on the subjects of implosive, burning in the labor market in the past year, the duchess LANGEAIS, but noted that an aggressive power, but not his best, it can certainly be one of his consent.

Catherine Deneuve, Depardieu co-star in Leoš Carax Pola X, has more support in a train Girl (), André Téchiné windy track before the last witnesses. Deneuve plays the mother of a young woman (Emilie Dequenne), crying wolf in the subway attack by "skinheads" after the affair with the diploma of the college wrestler topples criminal conspirators. The story comes from the rails, when an old friend of the mother, a famous lawyer (Michel Blanc), suggested that the mother and daughter in their home country with his family. Although not without some strong scenes Téchiné inadvertently unreasonably long look in the family attorney correct, either the mother or the daughter of a set of attitudes. In the study of nature there is no sense of identity.

Match WITS substantially higher profits, director Benoit Jacquot centers Villa Amalia () in excellent Isabelle Huppert. Caused by the time of charm and intrigue, the film revolves Jaco thread about a famous pianist, self-government created by the removal of the French company that eventually their roaming Tangier, as well as a small cottage in the mountains of Naples. Based on Pascal Quignard the 2006 novel of the same name, this hilarious story of Jacques retools canvas so strange, repetitive rhythm. From the point of comedy Huppert in words and actions, the director has a Spell Binder character, on the basis of an unknown nature, as the head of his wife.

Perhaps the best performance of the festival was director Agnès Varda, an illusion, moving autobiography, the movie on the beaches of Agnes (). Recreation plays a major role Varda film, such as combs through his life with the New Vague icon Jacques paper, her children, her early days in cinema, his family and even his short stay at United. UU., Where he became friends with a young actor named Harrison Ford, as well as the lizard King, Jim Morrison. Inventive and honest, the film creates an owner of the plant in the landscape, triggering memories that were captured in photographs and Talking Heads, if not for their creativity. Achingly also tells how her last days with the paper, who died of AIDS in 1990, Varda passes the viability of this remarkable film, and polka-dotted with steam.

Less interesting feedback Avenue Montaigne, directed by Daniele Thompson. In his latest change of plans (), the director makes the same sloppy animation, on Montaigne, in connection with events in a group of friends and lovers, their lives change after the meal. Although blessed with talented character actors, such as Marina Hands, Dany Boon, Emmanuelle Seigner, Patrick Bruel, Thompson sincerely push the darker material that is not well with their style, effervescent tablets. As a result, lumpy mixture of charm and no love for France, with emphasis, that two of its previous functions. Rendezvous is the completion stage of TAPAS bar with cumbersome and equally blessed.
