bloody thrones (film: La reine Margot – Patrice Chéreau, 1994)
Historical movies are getting old too. ‘La reine Margot‘, the adaptation of Alexandre Dumas’ novel produced by Claude Berri and written (in collaboration) and directed by Patrice Chéreau was made in 1994. I am passionate about history (including historical books … Continue reading
Claude Berri’s elegant farewell (film: Ensemble, c’est tout – Claude Berri, 2007)
‘Ensemble, c’est tout’ (2007) is the last film that Claude Berri wrote (based on a novel by Anna Gavalda) and directed to the end. His filmography ends with another film (‘Trésor’), which he was unable to finish and see released, … Continue reading
another movie about the Boleyn sisters (film: The Other Boleyn Girl – Justin Chadwick, 2008)
One does not learn the history of Verona from ‘Romeo and Juliet’ – neither from Shakespeare’s play, nor from Zeffirelli’s film, nor from Prokofiev’s ballet. This is what historical treatises are written and read for. Likewise, the story of the … Continue reading
the loneliness of the contract killer (film: Le rapace – José Giovanni, 1968)
The life of writer, screenwriter and director José Giovanni can be good material for the script of a movie waiting to be made in the future. Giovanni was far from a nice guy in his youth, and when he became … Continue reading

not only for gourmets (film: La passion de Dodin Bouffant – Anh Hung Tran, 2023)
From the original French title of the film ‘La passion de Dodin Bouffant‘ the essential word we must remember is passion. The 2023 film by director Anh Hung Tran (English title is ‘The Taste of Things‘) depicts a love story … Continue reading
an improbable love story (film: Mademoiselle Chambon – Stéphane Brizé, 2009)
‘Mademoiselle Chambon‘ is the first film from Stéphane Brizé‘s filmography that I have the opportunity to watch. It was made in 2009 and the script, on which Brizé is co-author, is an adaptation of a novel by Eric Holder. It’s … Continue reading
cinema of the uncles (film: Les tontons flingueurs – Georges Lautner, 1963)
Almost every reference to ‘Les tontons flinguers‘ includes the phrase ‘cult film’. To be honest, I don’t know exactly what this expression means, but I suspect that what is meant in this case is that director Georges Lautner‘s film has … Continue reading
a twisted, wonderful, disturbing fairy tale (film: Poor Things – Yorgos Lanthimos, 2023)
I confess that after watching Yorgos Lanthimos‘ previous film – ‘The Favourite’ – I was a bit worried. It was a period film and seemed like evidence of an unwanted (by me) cinematic maturity. I loved in that movie attention … Continue reading
the trivialization of evil (film: The Zone of Interest – Jonathan Glazer, 2023)
Jonathan Glazer‘s Holocaust film The Zone of Interest (2023) is one of the most anticipated and talked about films of the season. The film is interesting and this is not a surprise. Glazer is a director and screenwriter who proposes … Continue reading
