And Now… Ladies and Gentlemen…
|
2003 - France
Director
Claude Lelouch
Starring
Jeremy Irons, Patricia Kaas
|
An absurd and convoluted film that follows two lonely amnesiacs through a transcontinental search for a cure, or simply something true — films about the unreliability of memory probably should be a bit convoluted, leave you wondering what really happened, what was imagined, and in what sequence reality unfolds, but here it just strikes one as laziness and slapdashery… Still and all, I enjoyed its goofy meandering very much! Romantic, silly, now and then very thought-provoking. Nice music, too, between the Patricia Kaas soundtrack and Michel Legrand score. I wouldn’t recommend this to anyone, but I like it.

Lauren, 25, out-of-work librarian. At the moment, TLC is but a review blog and catalogue of my film-related perversions. I always plan to do more with it — and to one day step outside 30s Hollywood again. Who knows?
