We owe him Angels et Feels solo or Patience et Back for good With the Boys Band Take That… Robbie Williams is not just anyone, especially in the United Kingdom. He is therefore not so surprising that a film that is devoted to his life and his career comes out in dark rooms. What is more surprising is that it is represented by a monkey.
Like any good self -respecting biopic, Better Man invites us to discover the ascent of the British singer and composer, from his beginnings with Take That in the early 90s to his solo success after a dive in artificial paradise. If the idea of going through a monkey to interpret Robbie Williams is absurd, it works. After The Greatest Showmandirector Michael Gracey has lost none of his superb.
Bold, Better Man Seduces spectators (4.2/5 on Allociné) and the press (3.7/5) with an original staging, a lot of emotions, themes as complex as universal and a catchy soundtrack. The special effects are particularly successful.
Jane Austen has spoiled my life
If you want a film that will make your romantic heart beat, Jane Austen has spoiled my life is perfect. Certainly, the United Kingdom is in the spotlight this week in dark rooms. Agathe is a big fan of the British author Jane Austen, who offered us the excellent Pride and prejudices, Emma or Persuasion. Single, the young woman dreams of a love story worthy of that of Elisabeth Bennet and Mr Darcy. Endowed with an overflowing imagination, life is never up to what literature sells. But when Agathe is invited by authors’ residence in England by the “Jane Austen Residency”, everything changes. She will have to face her fears and doubts if she wants to realize her writing dream and fall in love.
-Jane Austen has spoiled my life Do not pretend to revolutionize the genre but director Laura Piana knows what she is doing. The feature worn by Camille Ruherford (Anatomy of a fall) does good to the soul, both funny, sweet and poetic. The press is conquered and grants the average note of 3 out of 5. The spectators of Allociné are more enthusiastic with the average of 3.7 out of 5.
Play with fire
Worn by Vincent Lindon (Market law), Benjamin I could (Summer 85) et stefan crepon (Lupin), Play with fire marked the Venice Mostra last September. Indeed, Vincent Lindon was rewarded for his interpretation and won the Volpi couple.
Play with fire is a family drama. Pierre is a railway worker at the SNCF Réseau and he has raised his two sons alone since the death of his wife. While one is promised to a brilliant future, the other began to hang around with far-right identity groups, far from the ideology of his father. Incomprehension, helplessness … The feature film emphasizes unconditional family love despite fractures of opinion. The press is thrilled by the idea with the average of 3.6 out of 5. The spectators of Allociné are more mixed but remain playful with the average of 3.3.
The fourth wall
Released last week, it is not too late yet to discover The fourth wall. With Laurent Lafitte (Lurking) At the top of the bill, David Oelhoffen’s feature film takes us to Lebanon in 1982. Georges made a promise to an old friend. That of going to Beirut to stage Antigone In order to steal a moment of peace in the heart of a fratricidal conflict. The actors will have to be embodied by actors from different political and religious camps. The project is as utopian as it is risky. Lost in a city and a conflict he knows nothing, Georges will have to face the reality of war.
Both intense and captivating, The fourth wall is an adaptation of the eponymous novel by Sorj Chalandon. The press and spectators of Allociné praise the interpretation of the actors, a precise staging and an exciting story. To see in dark rooms.
