An average movie

Posted : 11 years, 6 months ago on 8 September 2012 07:11

Raoul Ruiz is not really well known here in listal but he is actually a quite interesting director. He actually died just last year but he had a productive career, directing more than 100 movies. Even though he was Chilean, most of those movies were made in France as he fled his homecountry from Pinochet's dictatoship. Anyway, I heard a lot about the guy so I was really intrigued by his work and when I finally got the opportunity to get acquainted, I was rather thrilled. This flick was the first one of his that I saw. Unfortunately, I thought it was pretty disappointing. I mean, it was interesting to see Laetitia Casta, the world famous model, to play in a serious drama and she did a good job, just like the rest of cast (Frédéric Diefenthal, Arielle Dombasle, John Malkovich, Charles Berling). However, I thought the story was really gloomy and above all, boring to death. I'm afraid, it was not really the best way to get to know Raoul Ruiz as he seems to be a rather talented film maker but it was just really tedious to watch and I almost fell asleep during this snooze party. To conclude, I have seen worse movies but it is still pretty damned average and it is not really worth a look, in my opinion.
