LOL OH MY GOD. French knows how to mould Drama, Silliness and Humor in a Movie. I was able to watch it in German language, and that was a lot funnier. Great location, great Atmosphere. Well the Actors were okay, but this is what I like about French Movies, they choose Actors who are like regular looking, and stories that can happen in your neighbourhood or sometimes you recognize yourself in the Characters. I highly recommend this Movie.
The Eighth Day( Le Huitieme jour) is very Unique Drama. Two Man Two different Worlds. They become Friends and learn from each other. Very Heartwarming Movie. There is Humor, Drama, and moments feels your eyes with tears. Just when you think this and that was funny, there you go and there comes a moment of sadness of Dramatic. I very much enjoyed this Movie. Daniel Auteuil is one of my Favorite French Actors. I must buy this Movie on DVD.
~Gideon quoting Yeats Poem~ Far off, most secret, and inviolate Rose, Enfold me in my hour of hours; where those Who sought thee at the Holy Sepulchre, Or in the wine-vat, dwell beyond the stir And tumult of defeated dreams; and deep Among pale eyelids heavy with the sleep Men have named beauty. Once upon a time: lol. My best friend her name is Fanny converted me to watch a French Movie, it began with Gideon. Very lovely lovely Movie. I very much adore this Movie. I have seen it so many times. I could watch over and over and I would never be bored. This Movie stole my heart for the very first time I watched it. I love it! After watching Gideon I immediately bought it online and luckily I found it. I recently found out that Gideon is rare to find. This is one of the Movies that cheers me up.
This is not a series about a man working to achieve his revenge - it is the story of what happens to a man as he takes his revenge.
The opposition is not his adversaries, but the count's own soul. There is something Gerard Depardieu surely can is to bring up the characters he plays to life in Epic Drama s. Beside Misérables, Les with John Malkovich this is the best Epic Drama with Gerard Depardieu.
A great Thriller with Vincent Perez and the late Actor Guillaume Depardieu(Gérard Depardieu`s Son) Le Pharmacien de garde (The Pharmacist) is about a pharmacist who is intent on saving the earth. The way he goes about it is by murdering people he thinks are not ecologically sound. Rather a slow but not a boring Thriller. Guillaume Depardieu was very talented actor and almost like his father in the Movies or TV Series. May he rest in peace.
The truth is nobody here likes you. Even the trees wouldn't grow if they had a choice!
A beautiful film about the late years of the French colonial era in Vietnam. The historical perspective is very good.
It serves as a good educational tool, to understand the reasons behind the defeat of France and after that the USA. It is not an action pack movie with a rapid pace; but the plot is so interesting, it is not boring.

Oh how I love this Movie. Great Perfomance by Gèrard Depardieu. Moulded with humor, poetic and romance. I remember after watching it on tv I bought it on DVD.
