Just a short line to say I enjoyed this, quirky as it was.Movie Review: Another Man and Another Woman 36 Years Later
Summary: 3 Stars
Claude Lelouch's "And Now... Ladies and Gentlemen" ... (2002) tries to
be a lot of things. It has the elements of romance, thriller, and drama
and much more. It could be called "Another Man and Another Woman 36
years later" and it takes us to London, Paris, and Morocco. A
successful and creative jewel thief Valentin (Jeremy Irons) sails alone
around the world. The fate brings him to Morocco where he meets a night
singer Jean (Patricia Kaas) who hopes to escape from the heartache of
the failed affair. They both suffer from blackouts and amnesia that may
be caused by brain tumors - of course, they were meant to meet. They
will seek the way to save their lives and then change them.
The movie is beautiful to look at, and the songs that Patricia Kaas
sings are wonderful, the best asset of the movie. I read that Kaas's
album "Piano Bar", a hand-picked collection of the popular love songs
inspired Lelouch to make this movie where Kaas debuted as an actress.
I've heard her singing before and I like her a lot. I also think that
her screen debut was successful. Her songs kept the movie together
because there were too many stories intermingling and even though they
were all interesting and compelling, it was not just easy to keep track
of all them.
There was one bitter-sweet moment when I realized that the actress who
played a countess in Morocco's hotel and whose jewels were stolen in a
very manner Valentin would do, was Claudia Cardinale, yes, The Claudia
Cardinale. She is still a beautiful woman but the first thought that
came to my mind was, "What does time do to all of us?"
"And Now... Ladies and Gentlemen" was fun while it lasted. I don't
think I'll want to see it again any time soon but I am going to order
Patricia Kaas's CD and I'll be listening to it often.
Movie Review: It takes an iron will to sit through this one
Summary: 2 Stars
Jeremy Irons makes this worth a look, but it takes 45 minutes too long to get where it's inevitably going. There are some good comedic bits, but most of the movie is given to French characters reciting their lines in ennui-laden tones. A lot of screen time is spent on lounge singing numbers; it might be more pleasant to listen to the soundtrack than watch the movie.Movie Review: GOOD POTENTIAL, BUT A LITTLE CONFUSING
Summary: 1 Stars
Ok, maybe I need to go back and give thsi one another try, but I just could not get into this movie. I purchased a used copy becuase a co-worker highly reccommended it to me. I usually like musical style movies and I also like foriegn films... so I had high expectations. In the end, I liked the cast, and I liked the music. But I ended up really confused! For one thing the movie goes back and forth between french and english. So unless you speak both you go back and forth between listening and reading sub-titles. Combine that with the fact that both the main characters have some kind of disease that makes them dream/see stuff that isnt there... I was totally and completely confused!
