A good movie

I’m a huge fan of the list ‘1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die’. In fact, it is thanks to this list that I discovered this website. However, there are one thing that bothers me with this list is the lack of recent movies, especially when you see some older and rather obscure movies that could be easily removed. This flick is a perfect example. Anyway, even though Maurice Pialat is not really well known in Listal, he was (and still is actually) a very highly regarded director in France. Honestly, I haven't seen many movies directed by Pialat but considering his reputation, I was really eager to watch this flick which was starring Gérard Depardieu and Isabelle Huppert who are both two of the best French actors for already the last 3 decades. Well, they were both really impressive. The story was dealing with one of those rather convoluted and messed up relationship that you only get to see in French movies. In my opinion, the plot was rather far-fetched and even  depressing but thanks to the tremendous work of the actors involved, it was still a nice watch. To conclude, it may not be one of Pialat's best work but I still enjoyed it and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you are interested in French movies.
