Movie Reviews of Come Undone
Movie Review: Artieee eye candy, that's what it is!
Summary: 4 Stars
I love "Wild Reeds" so much that I got this DVD as well because of the same actor, Stephane Rideau(Cedric). The first thing that I realized was the other guy, Jeremie Elkaim(Mathieu) was a much better looking guy than the way he looked on the cover. Then they met on the beach and Cedric stalked Mathieu. I thought it could be a better way. The darkess, low keyness and slow pace of this film did not bother me much as I like slow developing artie films. However, this movie is lacking too many things even Though I like films with a subtle taste. And the back & forth structure is definitey confusing especially because we are not informed about what exactly happened between the past and the presence. Then the character development of Cedric is almost none existing, he is just a cute dumb beefcake. He has a dark past, but we really cannot tell if he has any sort of emotional struggle about it and how it effects him. Speaking of emotional struggle, we can not tell if they have any of those things between them either, except a few of little cute fights. Some previous poster pointed out the scene of the ruin and stated that it explained how different they were. Mathieu was intellectualy interested in the ruin and Cedric did not care about it and he just wanted to have a physical fun. But I do not think that was enough and also it was quite silly to me. Why did Mathieu have to refuse Cedric's affection because he was intellectual or he was not in the mood for that? I would not if I love someone so much. If he could not accept his lover's affection, I wanted to know more about why. And other characters, Mathieu's depressed mother, her care taker and his jealous sister, I thought they would interrupt boys' relationship in some unplesant way, but nothing like that happened besides mother was concerned about her son's future. Then the biggest "Huh" moment was the ending, I thought there would be some sort of description or explanation about what happend between Mathieu and Cedric, but again nothing much. What was the reason of his big depression??? I guess the director tried to make an artie and very subtle movie but it still needed much more than this. Audiences want to relate themselves to the characters and in order to do so they need to be fed more informations about details of characters' emothional states and the reasons of them even if they are in very subtle ways. After all, this director is not Andre Tecine. "Come Undone" deserves only two or three stars as a movie, which mainly comes from beautiful cinematography, but I give four stars because I enjoyed the attractiveness of those boys. I do not think I wasted my money, but I can not recommend this to anyone if that is not their taste or that is not enough for them. Yes, this is the artie eye candy.
Summary of Come Undone
An emotionally subtle film with some surprisingly graphic sex, Come Undone follows 18-year-old Mathieu (Jeremie Elkaim) as he goes on holiday with his depressed mother, her cranky caretaker, and Mathieu's resentful younger sister. At the beach, Mathieu meets C?dric (St?phane Rideau), a handsome teenager with whom he begins a romance after a kiss in the moonlight. Their relationship is threatened by Mathieu's fears of how his family will react and by a violent former lover of C?dric's, but ultimately is brought to an end by something else entirely. Come Undone shifts fluidly back and forth in time and can be confusing, but by the end it's an affecting portrait of both love and melancholy. Some will find the movie worth seeing just for the many shots of the extremely attractive naked actors romping on the beach. --Bret FetzerArt House & International DVD Video
