Movie Reviews of Un Air de Famille
Movie Review: Unhappy People and Cigarettes
Summary: 3 Stars
My wife sometimes objects to my procurement of French films of a certain vintage because there is "too much inane conversation, smoking, and sitting around." I'm sorry to report that she is often correct in her analysis, and this film would be the latest example.
While I often disagree with THE NEW YORKER's Anthony Lane, his review of "Un Air de Famille" (listed above) hits the mark exactly. It is immediately apparent that this film is based on a play (written by the actors playing Henri and Betty.) It's entirely set in a seedy cafe that I instantly wanted the characters to leave.
No such luck.
As the family gathering coalesces, the actors do a good job of fleshing out their characters. But they just aren't interesting enough to fascinate, and they're not funny enough to be anything but unhappy bores. (I am giving this three stars on the strength of their heroic attempts to inhabit their roles.)
Maybe I should concentrate on more Italian films...
