Movie Reviews of C'est la Vie

Movie Review: Extremely well done
Summary: 5 Stars

Apparently this is companion piece to director Diane Kurys masterpiece, Entre Nous. This film is set in Brittany in the summer of 1958 and it is a spot-on depiction of that era and the trauma that a divorce can inflict on children. It really nails childhood's not-so-innocent behaviors-sneaking and smoking cigarettes, playing doctor, vandelism, awakening puberty, the loss of beloved pets.

The cast is just super, the simple costumes exude French style, and the sets really are well done. It offers a compassionate look at the lives of two people who can no longer be married. Your heart aches for the young protagonists watching their life fall apart. I was honestly most affected by the thoughts of being able to afford to spend the summer at the seashore with friends and family, of eating fresh seafood and swimming in surf.

Summary of C'est la Vie

"Engaging" (The New Republic) "charming" (The New York Times) and "intimate" (The Village Voice) this companion piece to director Diane Kurys' classic French drama Entre Nous is both a sweet lyrical memoir and a vivid recollection of the pain and pleasure of adolescence.In the summer of 1958 in sunny Brittany two mischievous sisters 13-year-old Fr d rique and 8-year-old Sophie overwhelm their inexperienced governess with spirited antics from feeding laxatives to goldfish to igniting a class war with an exclusive beach club. But neither is prepared for the antics of their mother whose illicit affair with a young sculptor draws the family into an explosive confrontation that could shatter their idyllic summer and change their lives forever!Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: LATIN/DRAMA Rating: NR UPC: 027616884183 Manufacturer No: 1004336
