Lady Jane is a further step backward for French filmmaker Robert Guédiguian. His skepticism that social ills can be addressed seems to have reached a critical point, giving way to a serious cynicism. Go to Full Review

05/21/2013 Bon film noir de gangsters à la papa. See more 10/11/2010 3 anciens comparses de cambriolage se retrouvent apres qqs annees d'activite rangee quand le fils de madame se fait enlever contre rancon. D'ou le retour aux vieilles activites pour reunir la somme demandee. Des passions et des rancoeurs vont ressurgir, avec qqs flashbacks explicatifs quant a leur separation. Qui a enleve le jeune garcon, et surtout pourquoi? L'intrigue du film est interessante, mais on n'arrive pas a eprouver une quelconque sympathie pour les 3 personnages. On se fait emmener, tres lentement, vers les reponses a nos questions, en assistant a des situations personnelles dont on se serait bien passees tellement elles n'apportent rien au film. Trop long et manque de rythme flagrant... See more 03/09/2010 Simple, but gives you some joy. A low-budget french thriller. Limited, but I liked it. See more 08/05/2009 Le plus mauvais Guediguian... Pas un genre pour lui, le noir... See more 04/11/2009 I should have to say I felt quite disappointed after watching it. The storyline is good and thus I would expect it to be much better than the final product I watched. What really the leading actress felt? What kind of emotion driving her to such an end? How deep is her love to he dad and son? What's the meaning of revenge? There's always at least a reason for a human being to do something, at least, no reason is a good reason. This is my wrong choice in HKIFF 2009 anyway. See more 03/26/2009 decent French drama. See more Read all reviews
