Le père Noël est une ordure (1982)
Stil valid
I have seen this movie yesterday for the Xth times. After all these views, I still cannot get tired of it. Yesterday, I was wondering when this movie was actually happening. It is actually dated of 1982. 21 years ago. And after all this time every single piece of humour you see or hear is stil funny.
Ok, the sets are a bit old fashioned but stil represents the type of low-end apartment you could find in Paris and that would be hired by an non-profit association like SOS Detresse amitie.
I don't know what makes this movie so present and why it is impossible not to find it funny after all this time. I think it is the ability to make laugh by taking the opposite of the common sense.
Another interesting point is that the Pere Noel has been adapted from a theatre play written and played by the same actors as in the film. And the movie doesn't look like a filmed play as it often is. There's been a great job in the adaptation of the text as well as the story (because there are some important differences)
I am afraid I will see this movie every year and always laugh with it.
Practical Magic (1998)
Poor film
This film has everything to be good, the actors, an idea. Unfortunately, it becomes rapidly boring and everyone is desperately waiting for any action along the film. The two sisters could have been more psychologically positioned and seem to be just twince even if they are completely different. Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman have a poor role in a poor film.
In Dreams (1999)
Scary
I have loved this film. It represents the type of scary film where everything is suggested, no blood, no gore scenes, no free explicit violence. Every piece is suggested by a psychological study of the characters. Annette Bening is great in this role and brings power to it. Never boring, no dead moment, just suggestion. The pictures are great and the camera realizes a great job with always the right light at the right place to scare the spectator. the decor is fabulous.
