Changing Times Reviews

Since I have a weak for André Téchiné’s work, I though I should check this flick. Téchiné is actually not really famous here on Listal but he is actually one of the best living French directors. On top of that, you had Gérard Depardieu and Catherine Deneuve, the two of greatest actors that ever lived, so you should be expecting something quite impressive, I sure was. Unfortunately, I thought the whole thing was rather disappointing and I would go as far as saying that it was the least satisfying movie I have seen so far directed by André Téchiné. I mean, in fact, it was far from being a bad movie. Indeed, like everything else done by this director, the whole thing was well done and , with such actors, of course the performances were fine but the story was not really fascinating and I didn't care much about the characters or what they were going through. Above all, I thought that Gérard Depardieu's character was rather pathetic and slighty annoying so it was rather difficult to root for the guy. Anyway, to conclude, even though I thought it was slightly disappointing, it was still a decent drama and I think it is worth a look though, especially if you are interested in French movies.
