The Barbarian Invasions Reviews

When leftists discover there are not always right, and that all societal fight are finally pointless for the more, and probably dangerous for the future.

Even though I have left France more than 10 years ago, I still try to watch some French(-speaking) movies once in a while. I'm particularly interested in the movies which won the César of the Best French movie (the French equivalent for the Oscars). Actually, this movie is Canadian but, somehow, it was still qualified to win this prize. Anyway, it was a very good drama, dealing with life and death, and the cast, made of actors unknown to me at that time, was really impressive. To be honest, I'm rather oblivious about Denys Arcand's work (so far, it is the only movie he has directed that I have seen) but I will definitely check his other features. As I really liked this sequel, I'm really curious about the original movie 'Le Déclin de l'empire américain' and I hope I will manage to watch it as some point. Apparently, it involves the same characters played by the same actors but 15 years before. Anyway, this movie can easily be watched as stand alone as it was quite spellbinding. To conclude, it is a rather heartbreaking story, a really solid drama and it is definitely worth it, especially if you like the genre.
