A good movie for the great directing of Daniel Roby. The main character is sort of useless if just to introduce the secondary ones . From the start one feels there is something strange going on. Reminded me of Cat people with Nastasja Kinski a while back . Too bad no one paid attention, this movie is a sleeper .

Hello-Goodbye
(1970)
Absolutely fabulous
10 August 2020
I first saw this movie on TV in th mid-70's . I found it on youtube recently and realized it was even better than when I first saw it . The early 70's were fantastic for those movies made in France with a mixed cast . The main characters chemistry makes the film a classic and that is why I could never get it off my mind . It's unfortunate that no one saw Geneviève Gilles's potential , she basically radiates. The critics killed this movie but as my grandma used to say " everyone is entitled to his/her opinion " . I beg to differ.... This was a great film !

Strange and aloof

A movie I saw in a theater when it was just out. I did not know most of the actors. Patrice Robitaille and François Létourneaux were just getting famous for their work with the tv show " les invincibles " at the time . It is somewhat of an art film , some of the basics are not fully explained so the spectator has to guess most of the time. I would recommend just for the great performance of Fanny Mallette.

Little known masterpiece

I watched this movie many years ago before DVD's even existed. The script is a known one. Nothing new here but the ambiance is basically what this movie is about. The director was skillful at making this co-production keep up with a plausible script ( always an issue when money comes from different countries ) . The tone is definitely the big Hollywoog star versus the more bohemian people an A- lister might encounter when filming. Great casting as Claudia Cardinale makes a credible Greta Sccatchi's Mum. The french version was excellent ,reminded me of the good old days when Charles Bronson made his best ones in Europe. What can I say ...It's all about ambiance..Watch it 'till the very end !

Just saw this movie today in 2016. Was fun to see it was from another era just by the look of the cellphone Russell was using. Great french version . The dubbing was flawless , made me wonder how it sounds in the original version. Does Russell Crowe speak french ?
US viewers ought to know that under french law you can not write off your offspring from your will. That's why Yves Montand was exhumed a while ago. I would just hope that one day they hire actors who are from the actual country the role calls for ?
Just one scene reminded me of "Great expectation ". The script is a known one but great job from the actors and the director.
