Audience Member Saw this film at the movies when it came out & really enjoyed this starnge story! now to be honest i don't remember much of it , only the fact i enjoyed it. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Ce n'est certainement pas le meilleur film pour commencer la filmographie de Lelouch, mais c'est le seul que j'ai en stock actuellement. La plus belle chose de cette oeuvre demeure certainement la voix de Patrick Husson, magnifique et ĂƒÂ©mouvante ĂƒÂ  souhait, ayant un petit rĂƒÂ´le oĂƒÂ¹ il commence comme simple chanteur de rue pour finir vedette. Bel hommage de Lelouch pour cet homme ĂƒÂ  la voix si particuliĂƒÂ¨re. C'est aussi l'occasion de se rendre compte que le cinĂƒÂ©aste peut offrir des moments trĂƒÂ¨s humains, trĂƒÂ¨s ĂƒÂ©mouvants, donnant l'impression de se trouver devant un excellent film. Malheureusement, Lelouch se perd dans la lourdeur par instants et surtout dans des dialogues sans queue ni tĂƒÂªte, interminables, philosophant sur le sens de la vie, devenant d'un coup trĂƒÂ¨s sĂƒÂ©rieux lĂƒÂ  oĂƒÂ¹ l'humour fonctionnait parfaitement auparavant. Des ĂƒÂ©lucubrations sans fin, ennuyantes et presque aussi arrogantes que chez du Godard. Reste aussi un rĂƒÂ´le taillĂƒÂ© sur mesure pour Bernard Tapie. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Read all reviews
