Synopsis : From Paris to Rome in the 1970s, the destiny of a broke writer collides with that of a rising cinema star. Their path to love will be strewn with pitfalls, misunderstandings and twists and turns. A whirlwind musical comedy!
Clara Lucianiknown for her suave voice and her charisma on stage, pleasantly surprises in the role of Lolaa rising actress of 70s cinema. Her interpretation is soft, nuanced, and reveals a fragility which makes her immediately endearing. In front of her, William Lebghil embodies a disillusioned writer with disarming sincerity. Their duo, sometimes mischievous, sometimes melancholy, gives rise to scenes of tender complicity that recall the most beautiful cinematic romances.
But it is Jose Garciain the role of a producer in love and disillusioned, who leaves a lasting impression. Already noted for his performances in dramatic comedies like We Leroyshe brings a moving intensity here. The secondary characters, played by Laura Felpin et Grégoire Ludigenrich the whole with performances as funny as they are moving, bringing a perfect balance between drama and lightness.
The aesthetic choice of Pretty Pretty is a declaration of love to 70s cinema. Under the guidance of the production designer Chloe Cambournac and the costume designer Alexandra Charlesthe sumptuous sets and costumes in bright, saturated colors instantly immerse spectators in an era when cinema rhymed with splendor and extravagance.
The bold choice to shoot in the studioeven for the exteriors, gives the film a theatrical and dreamlike atmosphererecalling the timeless style of Jacques Demy. Philippe Guilbertin charge of photography, magnifies each shot with subtle plays of light and chromatic palettes that oscillate between dream and reality.
Each musical sequence is a living painting, where the choreographies, although sometimes classic, blend naturally into the narration. However, certain pieces suffer from a certain superficiality, sometimes seeming more decorative than narrative, which slightly attenuates their emotional impact.
The French cinema rarely ventures into the delicate terrain of contemporary musical comedyand this is what makes Pretty Pretty all the more precious. Diasteme dares to mix chiseled dialogues with songs that are sometimes moving, sometimes light, while addressing universal themes such as passion, ambition and romantic disillusionment.
However, some songs seem to be there to the pleasure of musical aesthetics rather than to really serve the storysometimes creating a slight break in the overall rhythm of the film. But this defect remains minor compared to the generosity overall view of the work andsincere emotion which emerges from it.
Pretty Pretty is a bubble of sweetness and nostalgiaa love letter to the musicals of yesteryear and romantic cinema from the 70s. If a few songs would have deserved a little more narrative depth, the charm operates thanks to invested actors, a sumptuous artistic direction and an rdelicately poetic production.
A film that warms hearts and proves that French musical still has great stories to tell.
