Movie Reviews of The Fire Within - Criterion Collection
Movie Review: French film scores!
Summary: 4 Stars
Even though apparently aged, black and white, and treatment, this film packs a wallop. Timeless themes and beautifully filmed. Definitely not your Hollywood movie, and not a cheerful one either.
Summary of The Fire Within - Criterion Collection
After rising to international stardom with such seminal crowd-pleasers as The Lovers and Zazie dans le metro Louis Malle gave his fans a shock with The Fire Within (Le feu follet) a penetrating study of individual and social inertia. Maurice Ronet (Elevator to the Gallows) in an implosive haunted performance plays Alain Leroy a self-destructive writer who resolves to kill himself and spends the next twenty-four hours trying to reconnect with a host of wayward friends. Unsparing in its portrait of Alain's inner turmoil and shot with remarkable clarity The Fire Within is one of Malle's darkest and most personal films.SPECIAL EDITION FEATURES:New restored high-definition digital transferArchival interviews with director Louis Malle and actor Maurice RonetMalle's Fire Within a new video program featuring interviews with actor Alexandra Stewart and filmmakers Philippe Collin and Volker SchlondorffJusqu'au 23 Juillet a 2005 documentary short about Pierre Drieu la Rochelle's novel Le feu follet and dadaist writer Jacques Rigaut (the inspiration for the main character) featuring actor Mathieu Amalric writer Didier Daeninckx and Cannes festival curator Pierre-Henri DeleauNew and improved English subtitle translationPLUS: A booklet featuring new essays by critic Michel Ciment and historian Peter CowieSystem Requirements:Running Time: 108 minutes Language: French Subtitles: EnglishFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre:?DRAMA/LOVE & ROMANCE Rating:?NR UPC:?715515029520 Manufacturer No:?CC1750DDVDArt House & International DVD Video
