Movie Reviews of The Closet
Movie Review: One of the funniest films you'll ever read.
Summary: 4 Stars
First, the full disclosure: I am not the kind of person that likes foreign films. Having said that, I highly recommend The Closet. Sure it's in French with English subtitles, but if you don't normally watch foreign films you'll be amazed at how quickly you forget that you're reading subtitles. This is a genuine laugh out loud movie, and how many comedies really fall into that category?
Keep in mind there is a lot of sexual content, and if you are easily offended this is not for you. However, if you are looking for a comedy that's a bit different (and much funnier) than the latest Adam Sandler movie, you can't go wrong with this one.
Movie Review: Delightful Evening's Entertainment; LOL Farce
Summary: 4 Stars
Although Daniel Auteuil does his usual excellent character portrayal in this film, as an accountant who pretends to be gay to save his job with a condom manufacturer, it is Gerard Depardieu who steals the film. Depardieu plays a homophobic colleage who first schemes to get him fired and then seeks to engratiate himself with Auteuil in order to save his own job. I like this film better than this director's "The Dinner Party." For one, the other film has no counterpart to the hilarious Depardieu, found only in "The Closet." Director Francis Veber can deliver with French comedies and that genre needs a resurrection from its glory days of the 1970s.Movie Review: Cute
Summary: 4 Stars
This movie is best described as "cute," and consists of light comedy revolving mainly around the themes of sexuality and corporate politics. The movie isn't by any means profound, but I found it reasonably funny and entertaining, and its portrayal of the light side of French culture is certainly a plus. The acting is solid enough though, again, none of the characters are particularly deep or interesting, with the partial exception of the neighbor of the lead character (can't go into detail without risk of spoilers).Movie Review: Funny Take on Society and Sexuality
Summary: 4 Stars
This film was an interesting look at how people tiptoe around sexuality. The acting was well done, and the cliche characteristics of the homophobic are exagerated to show just how silly they really are. It is a light-hearted look at something serious (possibly the best way to do it). It was above all entertaining, which is really all that I require from a movie.Movie Review: Totally nutty, but thoughtful satire, poignant and goofy.
Summary: 4 Stars
I thought this movie was hilarious. Depardieu, who usually plays more serious roles - had me laughing hysterically. Behind all the silliness is an intelligent satirical commentary on business, lifestyle choices, over-the-top political correctness, hang-ups. Everything gets made fun of, still poignant and totally nutty. A gem.
