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, 26, librarian, and like you, obsessed with film. Sadly, I spend more time redesigning TLC and dreaming up new projects and features than I do actually writing on it. This is a half-finished and labyrinthine personal database of a film journey and the fetishes I've acquired thereby, but I hope you will have some fun with it, too. My tendency is to immerse myself in long and obsessive projects to the exclusion of all else, but you'll typically find a lot of classic Hollywood, 60s/70s world cinema, and contemporary awards bait on these pages.
