[Pas sur la bouche] 2003 - France Director Starring |
It is simply outside the realm of possibility for me to dislike a Resnais film: plenty to love here in one of his weaker ventures. This is a cross between a sophisticated 1930s American stage play and the 1960s French New Wave Demy musicals, full of irreverent Resnais touches (discordant harpsichord flourishes underscore turning points à la Marienbad for a delightfully batty example). Lambert Wilson stands out particularly as an American who finds kissing unhygienic and speaks with a flat accent, a spot-on James Stewart impression. |
