Movie Reviews of A la Mode
Movie Review: Au contraire! C'est tres amusant et drole
Summary: 4 Stars
This film is quite the charmer, as are all the characters and the French je ne sais quoi spirit as well. Set in the late 60's, but not focussed on the political ferment of the times, it starts off in a very Dickensian mood, but very quickly evolves into a delighful look into a particular quartier, where Jewish tradesmen take on apprentices (in this case two non-Jewish orphans) and the plot, such as it is, revolves around their growing affection for each other and the surrounding community as the two orphan friends find their metiers and manhood.
Meanwhile the soundtrack is reminiscent of 8 1/2, with a certain circus atmosphere which permeates the film. It is a kind of pleasant supperealistic fantastic story that is peculiarly French and if you let yourself follow its well-defined universe, you are in for a treat.
