I saw it again last night and...I want to see it again. Nothing much happens in the movie; it is all about great acting and the relationship that develops between the two men.
As in all notable art, many unanswerable questions remain after the credits have rolled, and, more importantly, one wishes to discuss and ponder the possibilities.
READ NO FURTHER IF YOU'VE NOT SEEN IT!!!!!!!!
Was the gardener "death?" He was carrying a scythe, after all.
Was the train ride at the beginning carrying Hallyday to "limbo," where he was greeted by the old guy whose kindness elevated him to heaven, leaving behind the thief who may or may not have exculpated himself (his kind words and deeds to the teacher)?
What exactly did that prison scene with the keys mean, exactly? That Hallyday now was to be alone in that "house?"
Lastly, I'll point out that the poetic driver with the hood evoked the ferryman at the Styx.
Follow Ups:
You may see much more that is actually in this film. JH being an actor of very limited range.
So you do think giving it another try may help?
Victor did like it too, if I remember well.
I will.
fit into the "plot."
It may be extremely difficult for someone who has known him as a rock star to take him seriously as an actor: I know I have a problem with Bon Jovi, though he is harmless enough on the screen.
Hallyday has real menace mixed with...tenderness. Only a few actors could project this. Revisit the scene in the bar wherein the drunk bumps into him. Imagine how a typical actor would have played it. He must know Shakespeare's directions about acting, delivered by Hamlet to the players: little is more.
Yes you are fully right, it is a hard test to take a Pop star knows for his " being not very bright " as a full actor. Maybe then you do not have to be intelligent to be good as a player?
Well it won´t help me to tell you that he does himself not consider as a good actor and so two third of the French...And I won´t hide behind.
But still you maybe right, I may have a prejudice.
Who knows?
But as I said I will give it a second go.
I really enjoyed it. It seems that good French film is more about people and relationships with the plot being some sort of loose excuse to have them interacting on screen. By the way, JH is NO pretty boy.
----------
Love your brother, not his wife.
Well in the same way I may have a prejudice on JH, one may have, in the positive sense, for French films....PS: No wonder after all is lifting.....
French: Love his brother AND his wife.....
has "it." That menace that Brando had, with the humanity also present.
I think it was he in "Iron Triangle;" his was the only reason to see it.
