Le cri du cormoran, le soir au-dessus des jonques Reviews

Basically, it is once again one of those really obscure French movies that nobody else have seen here on Listal (I just checked, on Imdb, not even 200 users have seen it). So, it is probably one of the most obscure movies I have seen and, if I recall correctly, I saw it while I was in a business trip in Belgium. The main point of interest is that it was directed by Michel Audiard. Yeah, he was indeed the father of Jacques Audiard, one of the most heralded French directors and while Jacques A. is mostly famous for his deep and emotional dramas (‘De rouille et d'os’, ‘Un prophète’, ‘De battre mon coeur s'est arrêté’, ‘Sur mes lèvres’, ‘Regarde les hommes tomber’), Michel A. was known mostly as a screenwriter and wrote some memorable movies with some very colorful dialogs. Eventually, Michel Audiard tried a career as a director at the end of the 60’s but he wasn’t satisfied by the end-results and decided to go back as a full-time writer. Anyway, coming back to our main feature, I thought it was a pretty nice flick, nothing really amazing but still quite entertaining and it was above all pretty neat to see a very young Gérard Depardieu in his very first part. To conclude, it is nothing great but I thought it was not bad at all and it is worth a look.
