L'Âge des ténèbres (The Age of Ignorance) (Days of Darkness) (2007,  Unrated)
L'Âge des ténèbres (The Age of Ignorance) (Days of Darkness)
Si par ses 2 précédents films, Arcand démontrait à quel point les amis et la famille étaient essentielles pour ne pas sombrer dans le désespoir, l'ennui et la solitude, il illustre ici un monde carrément en déchéance, en plein désintégration et parmi un personnage seule, morne, terne et totalement détruit qui vit un enfer de solitude tout les jours tout en s'imaginant et se permettant les rêves les plus fous. Un film pur, mais surtout dur, d'une cruauté assomante qui fait réfléchir d'une façon incroyable. Percutant, réaliste, brillant, métaphorique et même drôle. Un bijou avec une distribution hallucinante qui ne vole pas le devant de l'histoire et un marc labrèche carrément impressionant et d'une crédibilité alarmante dans un rôle qui ne se veut pas drôle du tout. Incroyable et tragique, Arcand frappe fort.

The story is beautiful, the scenery is incredible, the cast is outstanding and spectacular, especially the *bad* side (crowe and foster), the music is simply sublim, well, this movie was a great western, taking me back to Leone time with some modern twist. It was an awesome journey.

The Dark Knight (2008,  PG-13)
The Dark Knight
WOW, that was epic! Batman playing in the yard of V for vendetta. Actually, the 152 minutes weren't enough, I was able for some more hours, it leave me hungry for more having in mind a breathtaking movie were The Joker is simply brilliant by an unforgettable Ledger. Yes the rest of the cast is really good too and well.. Bruce/Batman is a hero a little bit boring and monotone, but happily (and sadly in the other way) Maggie gives a really more interesting Rachel than Hokmes did. Everything is improve, the direction is more humble and greater than the first movie, the music fit perfectly, giving an awesome theme for the Joker, they bring terror with just a sound: brilliant. The special effects is not the principal thing in this movie, the script is on the front and that is simply beautiful. Well, I can talk about it hours long, but it certainly a must-see, you just CAN'T get bored, it simply awesome but we have to say it : really dark.

Le Scaphandre et le Papillon (The Diving Bell and the Butterfly) (2007,  PG-13)
Le Scaphandre et le Papillon (The Diving Bell and the Butterfly)
Despite some flaws, more in the second part less more powerful than the first one, the movie is simply incredible, we go so deep in the mind of the character, there's some scene that's simply touch me powerfuly, like I didn't think it would. Beautiful music, awesome direction. A must-see!
120
Persepolis (2007,  PG-13)
Persepolis
With a movie as strong and beautiful as this one is, my only wish is to see the same treatment for Maus. But well, this movie was not perfect but offer a good balance between drama, history, courage, comedy, romance, beauty and else. I have to admit it, I was quite frustrated when it ends, was able for some more minutes!
121
Be Kind Rewind (2008,  PG-13)
Be Kind Rewind
Nothing can beat Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, but Gondry surely done a great original, fascinating, creative, fun, touching, inspiring and lot of qualities movie that finally, really touch my heart with inventive mind of Gondry and crazy ideas transported in his awesome surreal world direction. More assumed than Science of Sleep, as it goes it became a real feast for all senses. But we only have to be frank that we will never saw ESOTSM2 and simply appreciate all thoses great movies :-)
122
Once (2007,  R)
Once
For the love of music and people. So heart-warming movie, so passionate and so simple, but at the same time, beautoful, it was just wonderful, love it!
123
Hello, Dolly! (1969,  G)
Hello, Dolly!
This movie certainly have a different meaning since Wall-E has been out, but it doesn't kept myself away of it to fully appreciate it. Surely, it add nothing to the genre, but actually it,s so entertaining, so funny, with a good rythm, ncredible performance, an outstanding Streisand and so much joy and happiness and everything that this movie beyond a real classic of the musical genre. Truly and fully enjoyable!
124
Stardust (2007,  PG-13)
Stardust
A bit long by the end, I certainly like it better than the princess bride, wich I never understand why it was so popular.. With a wonderful story full of imagination and creativity, a well-done direction, a perfect cast, enough jokes, action, suspense, romance and else, this is the ultimate and perfect fantasy movie! I completely fall in love with it, beyond my expectaction and at my big surprise!
125
Delicatessen (1991,  R)
Delicatessen
Still they can be some point to arrange to make it perfect, for a 1991 movie, it's still really amazing for the set, the artistic direction, the realisation and of course the story that is not afraid to go in all new and special direction for a really good and interesting movie. Some scene are quite priceless and the attention that they put in the sound of everything make it even better.
126
The General (1927,  Unrated)
The General
OMG! This was so funny! I mean everything was so amazing and the gag so wisely made! Incredible :-)
127
Before Sunset (2004,  R)
Before Sunset
Awww, if this sequel didn't exist, what will we have done? Simply beautiful, touching, big emotion, greater discussion.. I mean, this is so THE life. And the ending.. Damn! Can we got another movie? Magic.
128
Vicky Cristina Barcelona (2008,  PG-13)
Vicky Cristina Barcelona
Exquisite! This movie put a smile on my face from the start and from that moment on, I wasn't able to keep this smile away. So beautiful, so romantic, so funny, so delightful, refreshing and everything! The direction was as well, well done and the music was a delight and the casting was perfect. Really refreshing movie. Because after all, what is love? How it work?
129
Run Lola Run (Lola rennt) (1999,  R)
Run Lola Run (Lola rennt)
Wow! On the esthetic side, Tykwer is awesome, the perfume and faubourg st-denis only confirmed it after this awesome start he made. Simply breathtaking, brilliant and intelligent, the movie is a wonder. Nearly perfect.
130
Shaun of the Dead (2004,  R)
Shaun of the Dead
How fun this is! Really great, so funny, dynamic direction, awesome soundtrack, funny and hilarious acting, great scenes. Love it!
131
Harold and Maude (1971,  PG)
Harold and Maude
Touching and making the point that love is absolutely without conditions. Have some funny scenes but it remains at it best when it takes his reflexive side. A great classic help with a nice casting and an outstanding soundtrack.
132
Dancer in the Dark (2000,  R)
Dancer in the Dark
SO hard, really. I mean the story is somewhat terrible and horrible not because it's bad, because it's SAD. Awesome performances.
133
Blindness (2008,  R)
Blindness
Chaos. This movie is about chaos. It's an observation movie, observing the desintegration of a society in perfect chaos. With a perfect direction that put us directly into the dangerous situation, following the only one who can see with thoses who can't, we have under our eyes and awesome movie, the children of men of 2008. Powerful with extraordinary performance, awesome soundtrack and unforgettable moments. The movie is near the masterpiece.
134
U (2006,  Unrated)
U
Des desssins magnifiques des métaphores magiques, une musique enchanteresse et une histoire qui touche par une subtilité poignante. Un bijou en tout point!
135
Into the Wild (2007,  R)
Into the Wild
Loin d'être conventionnel, Sean Penn offre un road-movie existencialisme totalement hallucinant. EN recherche de sa propre maison, des propres motivations de l'existence humaine, le film suit un personnage hors du commun décidé à tout faire pour vivre en communion avec la nature. Comme dans tout road-movie se respectant, son but central ne sera atteint que vers la fin alors que tout au long de son parcours, il rencontrera nombreux personnage qui chacun lui apprendra des leçons importantes de sa vie, mais qui ne l'empêcheront pas de toujours désirer de plus en plus ardement son but principal. Fort de techniques habilement maîtrisés autant du côté technique que narratif, l'histoire est construite et déconstruire de manière très professionnel. Multipliant les types de narrations entre le protagoniste, sa soeur et ses propres notes personnelles et alliant les aller et retour pour tenter de donner un sens à toute cette histoire. Magnifiquement interprété, brillamment réalisé, un drame magnifique et terriblement poignant.
136
Good Bye, Lenin (2004,  R)
Good Bye, Lenin
Extraordinary! While the perfect soundtrack from Tiersen gives me chills from start to end, this movie is simply superb. Amazingly act, brilliantly strctured and have a really vibrant direction, fill with lots of bright ideas, remain a wonderful movie about family, secrets, change, life and some. A close-really close 5.
137
The Fall (2006,  R)
The Fall
Pure poetry. Somptuous. We're all falling, the importance is how we get up. A visual masterpiece.
Edit: Somptuous really IS the word and the final act is still incredible :-)
138
Sunset Boulevard (Sunset Blvd.) (1950,  Unrated)
Sunset Boulevard (Sunset Blvd.)
Powerful characters with strong performances. Masterpiece of loneliness and desperation double with an unforgettable fame. Beautifully think and made, incredible atmosphere. Beautiful.
139
Gaz Bar Blues (2003,  Unrated)
Gaz Bar Blues
je l'ai réécouté en classe et j,avais l'impression de le voir pour la première fois. Augmentant ma cote à un puissant 4 étoiles. Magnifique, nostalgique, quelque peu cruel, juste, bien maîtrisé et porté par un casting plus qu'extraordinaire, le film se veut rempli de belles réflexions et de sens d'une grande intensité, capté une trame musicale toujours parfaite. Magnifique film à la grande puissance et à la trame émotive bien balancé. Du grand cinéma.
140
Synecdoche, New York (2008,  R)
Synecdoche, New York
It's the truman show with a soul.. It's.. Well.. It's Charlie Kaufman! What you want more? Everything that looks so normal in the start turn so badly twisted and so.. strange-weird and.. Beautiful and actually weird is beautiful and i love weird too and sometimes, watching what Kaufman is bringin up, it,s freak me out, 'cause they're a lot of thoses ideas that I could have bring it too. Love it, it was incredible on a lot of aspects. It's twisted but it,s still want to tell something. It wasn't Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind.. (I don't thing anything would be) but well, really enjoyable and.. crazy :-)
Edit: god this movie is life. God this move is insane. God this movie touch me in so much way. It's just.. Wow, I wish and i'm mostly sure it would be better at each new view.
141
Happiness (1998,  Unrated)
Happiness
WOW! This movie was INCREDIBLE. Yet hilarious, yet shocking. We all have our conception of happiness and we all tried to reach it, thinking we have, or trying to make others think we have it, but what it is really? Deep, well-think, amazingly act, full with deranged situations, this movie amazed me. Awesome.
142
Songs From the Second Floor (2002,  Unrated)
Songs From the Second Floor
Highly impressive, stylished, hilarious and yet, depressing. Powerfuly inventive and grey. Wonderful.
143
Il y a Longtemps que Je T'aime (I've Loved You So Long) (2008,  PG-13)
Il y a Longtemps que Je T'aime (I've Loved You So Long)
Magnifique, un film qui réchauffe le coeur puisque malgré la dureté de l'histoire et de la situation, réussit à trouver cette douceur et cette chaleur qui aurait rendu l'expérience beaucoup plus pénible sans cela. Mené avec brio par une excellente distribution (chapeau à la toujours excellente Kristin Scott Thomas) et superbement bien écrit, garni de dialogues toujours juste, le film se savoure et se laisse désirer. Magnifique et fortement agréable. Une énorme surprise. Chapeau aussi à la musique toujours juste qui adoucit les moments, les dramatisent ou les amplifie, illustrant le tout tel une fausse note, longue, languissante, retentissante.
144
Le Premier Jour du Reste de ta Vie (The First Day of the Rest of Your Life) (2008,  Unrated)
Le Premier Jour du Reste de ta Vie (The First Day of the Rest of Your Life)
Magnifique un film qui tout en étant léger, ne manque pas de toucher par ses réflexions, ses idées et ses pensées. Mené par une réalisation hautement compétente et une distribution efficace, la structure narrative quant à elle demeure hautement originale et maitrisé, même si au niveau du scénario il y a une égalité qui se fait ressentir, faible par son début et sa fin, mais d'une puissance incontestable en son milieu (les meilleurs moments assurément). Grandement amené, grandement dirigé et pensé, le film n'est sûrement pas à oublier. Du grand art qui malgré nous a quelque chose qui manque, mais quoi?
145
Milk (2008,  R)
Milk
Somptuous. Greatly made, greatly act (well, I still don't believe that Jack was as annoying as Diego Luna was..). Great direction, Van Sant find a way to modernize, while not truly reinventing biographic movie, by focusing only on the truly important years of Harvey Milk, he found the greatest forces of his movie. Wildly entertaining, never boring or too long, the movie is a must and a great and sincere hommage to homosexuality.
Edit: okay second watch was even better than better, the movie was near perfection, god bless Van Sant.
146
Changeling (2008,  R)
Changeling
A gigantic masterpiece in many acts. A complete movie, really complete. Greatly written and act, Jolie actually found one of her best performance, far more powerful than the one she gave in a mighty heart. Everyone, from the production to the performances, possessed the story to make it their own. POwerful and captivating from the beginning to the end, Eastwood made himself an amazing *film d'époque* with awesome reconstruction. Solid movie, that was far beyond everything I can thought of. Amazing.
147
Slumdog Millionaire (2008,  R)
Slumdog Millionaire
This movie is a MIRACLE! Let's say it, let's not be shy. Heartwarming, full of love, of life, of truth, of sincerity, of, well? Everything. It,s dynamic, it's amusing, it's dramatic, it's romantic, it's.. EVerything we want it to me. Well of course there's a lot of similarities with city of god, but well, it's damn good anyway. A must-see. Surely.
Okay, I was fooled by Slumdog like everyone else. Let's stop all the good shit about it, yes the movie is great in his execution, but well, that's about it.
148
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008,  PG-13)
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
Sometimes, we have to watch the life backward to realize his meaning, his importance. A sublim movie. Superbly directed by the amazing David Fincher, awesomely act by wonderful actors and actress (Blanchett as always <3), somptuous soundtrack by Desplat, incredible cinematography. It was so sad, so beautiful, so true, so romantic, so.. Living. Awesome on every level. But maybe a bit long? Oh well! The ending was awesome! The ordinary life of an ordinary man with extraordinary circumstances.. Somptuous.

Edit: Still somptuous, maybe even more.
149
Stranger Than Fiction (2006,  PG-13)
Stranger Than Fiction
I really need to rewatch it, but in my memories the movie was highly enjoyable and really touching with awesome intepretation (I normally CAN'T stand Ferell), with an extraordinary soundtrack, a ingenius direction and memorable story, highly original.
Edit: Simply better and better each time I watch it. Incredible.
150
The Reader (2008,  R)
The Reader
Incredible! Finally the next movie of Daldry since the unforgettable The hours. Superb, somptuous, beautiful, sensual, sad, true, romantic, it's everything we want it to be. Well I haven't read the book, but still, this movie want us to prefer have it read it for us. Simbly amazing. Winslet particularly is once again perfect. Amazing movie, I cried a lot. Loved it.
151
Cosmos (1996,  Unrated)
Cosmos
Le problème avec les films à sketchs, c'est qu'ils sont souvent inégaux, pas nécessairement parce que certains sont plus mauvais que les autres, parce que chaque style est différent et que chacun se savoure différement. Celui-ci ne fait pas exception, mais s'en tire bien, quoique le lien de départ pour lier tous ces petits sketchs entre eux, se fera vite oublier et se veut plutôt faible, si les deux plus agréables sont le 2e et le 3e qui ressorte par leur humour prononcé et leur rythme tappageur, le premier a une réalisation fortement surprenante, le 4e ne trouve jamais son sens et le 5e a une philosophie intéressante, tout comme le début du 5e avant de tomber dans une poursuite sans grandes raisons. Mais en somme, l'expérience fut très concluante et particulièrement agréable.
152
Un Baiser s'il vous plaît (Shall We Kiss?) (2009,  Unrated)
Un Baiser s'il vous plaît (Shall We Kiss?)
Ce film n'a rien de la comédie romantique idéale puisqu'à défaut de bien finir, le film exploite avec profondeur et intelligence les conséquences inattendues des situations que les films à l'eau de rose s'amusent à bêtement utiliser et surutiliser sans aller plus loin. Le film dépeint avec génie les suites indéniables de l'imprévisible, mené à terme par d'excellentes performances, des dialogues délicieux et un fondement fend-le-coeur et ce malgré une réalisation plutôt simpliste qui rajoute au réalisme chavirant des situations pourtant romancés. Si le film se savoure du début à la fin, rappelant par divers technique ce que le maître Woody Allen a pu laisser sur son passage, il pincera le coeur et la pensée lors de son dernier acte. Magnifique.
153
The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (2007,  R)
The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford
Somptuous, beautiful, slow, contemplative, poetic and everything else. Cowboys on depression. Simply amazing.
154
Next Floor (2008,  Unrated)
Next Floor
Simplement extraordinaire, un bijou d'inventivité, de créativité, de réflexions, maîtrisé avec habileté et magnificience. Ingénieux, beau, triste à la fois. Vision pessimiste du gouffre sans fond dans lequel notre ultra-consommation sans efforts nous pousse. Chef-d'oeuvre.
155
The Band's Visit (Bikur Ha-Tizmoret) (2008,  PG-13)
The Band's Visit (Bikur Ha-Tizmoret)
Subtile, lent, malaisé, pathétique et court, ce film offre une observation délicate, mais merveilleuse des relations humaines à travers des étrangers dans tous les sens qu'on peut y trouver. à la manière d'une fable, l,Histoire où rien de très extragant ne se produit, séduit du début à la fin par ses longueurs, ses silences et ses situations. Magnifique.
156
Watchmen (2009,  R)
Watchmen
Snyder's prove that 300's style wasn't made by luck, watchmen have some somptuous moment in his first acts, but all in all everything turn to superhero type in the last one. But the wonderful moments are so numerous and it's really beautiful in it's melancholy. Not unique, but quite special. Like it, really.
Edit: the director's cut just add some other beautiful moments.
157
Son of Rambow (2007,  PG-13)
Son of Rambow
On a lot of aspects it's by far one of the most original family movie i've seen in a while. Deep touching, interesting, amusing, weird, funny, cute and averything, we certainly pass more than a great and amazing moment. Fantastic :-)
158
Royal Wedding (1951,  Unrated)
Royal Wedding
Funny, pleasant, enjoyable, joyful and everything. Awesome musical numbers (like the one in the boat) but every credits are given to the still incredible and amazing *dancing on the celing* scene. Worth everything.
159
The Host (Gwoemul) (2007,  R)
The Host (Gwoemul)
All the last scenes are pricelss, the music is wonderful and a lot of things in this movie is awesome :-) One of a hell korean monster movie ^^ Lots of style!
Edit: OMG it was so beautiful, wonderful and birght. Love it, more than the first time for sure.
160
Rushmore (1998,  R)
Rushmore
Original, creative, funny and mostly hilarious on a lot of ways, Rushmore is a delightful comedy for everyone.
161
American Splendor (2003,  R)
American Splendor
Somewhere between fiction, reality, documentary, it's original on a lot of point but still very HBo's style. The interpretation are awesome but seems more interesting than the real people actual are. Great vision and observation of the complex simple life.
162
Coraline (2009,  PG)
Coraline
This movie remembers me why James and the giant peach freaks me out while I was a kid.. But well Coraline is really great, goodly written and the animation is simply stunning. It's really long for that kind of movie but in a good way, while the rythm might me a little long for a first watch, i'm sure it won't be a problem for a second one. Greatly done.
163
Les Chansons d'Amour (Love Songs) (2008,  Unrated)
Les Chansons d'Amour (Love Songs)
Les chansons, le personnage d'Erwann, et la deuxième moitié du film fait oublier le ton et l'atmosphère plutôt sombre, monotone, inhabituelle cela dit pour une comédie musicale. En somme en résulte un petit bonheur qui fait sourire et finit évidemment avec un happy end :-)
164
Far From Heaven (2003,  PG-13)
Far From Heaven
God this movie was simply amazing. Stron performances, awesome story, incredible reconstitution (love the technicolor look). Oh my god. It was really an awesome movie.
165
99 francs (2007,  Unrated)
99 francs
En quelque part, on ne peut vraiment pas lui enlever les similitudes avec le Fight Club de Fincher, mais l'incursion dans le monde publicitaire est si personnelle et particulière et le tout demeure si choquant, fesse-dedans, trash et accompli à bien des niveaux que l'expérience marque et fait réfléchir avec une certaine dépravation mentale (Ou nous fait-il plutôt sortir de celle-ci?)
166
All the Days Before Tomorrow (2007,  Unrated)
All the Days Before Tomorrow
Subtle, slow and as much touching as it is moving, the movie is beautiful and offer a lot of great and deep moment. While there's some ambiguity, the characters are so well writtent we just found ourself falling for them as much as they seem falling for each other as the movie play.
167
A l'Ouest de Pluton (,  Unrated)
A l'Ouest de Pluton
Vraiment difficile de faire mieux dans le cinéma vérité de fiction. C'est si beau, spontané, cruel à la fois, cummulant les descriptifs. C,est une observation où on laisse au téléspectateur le soin de penser ce qu'il en veut, on guide les directions, mais non pas les réflexions. On est pas ici pour éloger, rabaisser, humilier les ados, on les illustre, c'est tout. Magnifique à beaucoup de niveaux, cummule les frissons.
168
Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist (2008,  PG-13)
Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist
Aaah and aaaww! A good teen comedy with a soul! Nothing really new, but the way of doing it is quite refreshing! And the music is particularly good and impressive (RATATAT!), the interpretation are nice and the movie is widely open to lots of subjects. A great ride/road movie and delivers good son. Only complaint, I don,t know if it was only in my theaters but god the sound simply sucks!
169
Le Charme Discret de la Bourgeoisie (The Discreet Charm Of The Bourgeoisie) (1972,  PG)
Le Charme Discret de la Bourgeoisie (The Discreet Charm Of The Bourgeoisie)
Parfaitement discret, parfaitement bourgeois. Où tout cela s'en va? Et c'est justement sur cette question que Bunuel nous laisse. Qu'ya-t-il à comprendre de ces êtres tantôt immonde, tantôt égoïstes, tantôt déplacés, centrés sur eux-mêmes, manipulé à leur guise contre la réalité. Mêlant réalité, rêve et fiction, Bunuel brouille lespistes pour insuffler ses réflexions avec habileté à travers un chassé-croisé d'événements qui sommes toutes sont toujours interrompu. Brillant à bien des moments.
170
Boy A (2007,  R)
Boy A
All the film we have questions about anyting and everything but towards the end, everything crash in an awesome way. Powerful, more than anything.
171
Up (2009,  PG)
Up
Sans avoir les qualités de Wall-E ou Ratatouille, Up se rapproche beaucoup plus de The Incredibles et trouve son côté ambitieux en utilisant un vieillard en marchette enveloppé d'une lourde nostalgie et mélancolie pour l'accompagner dans ce dernier tournant d'aventures fort rocambolesque, d'où penche d'ailleurs cet autre volet d'humour et d'enfantillage rigolotes et mignonnes qui ont tout pour charmer surtout petit mais grands aussi. Adressé à un large public, le film touche à bien des niveaux et à bien des degrés et demeure en un sens un pari fort risqué, mais grandement réussi. Pixar prouve encore qu'il est incapable de décevoir. Magnifique.
172
Tokyo! (2008,  Unrated)
Tokyo!
Tryptique cinématographique fort ambitieux permettant à trois réalisateurs d'explorer leurs possibilités avec grâce et élégance d'où Gondry et Joon-ho réussissent à tirer les meilleurs épingles du jeu. Les moments marquants sont cela dit fort nombreux.
173
Les Quatre Cents Coups (The 400 Blows) (1959,  Unrated)
Les Quatre Cents Coups (The 400 Blows)

175
Away We Go (2009,  R)
Away We Go
An unexpected yet beautiful vie by the talented Mendes. Everything is in the situation, the character and the dialogues subtle and amazingly funny and entertaining. So much brilliant ideas and moments. A great road movie.
176
Wild Reeds (1995,  Unrated)
Wild Reeds
André Téchiné signe un film sensislb,e intelligent, brillant et rythmé, magnifiquement écrit et interprété par de jeunes interprètes de talents. On y suit avec bonheur les tourments de chacun des protagonistes tissés dans une panoplies de scènes mémorables. Un très beau film.

Antoine et Colette (1962,  Unrated)
Antoine et Colette
Deuxième segment de sa trilogie sur Antoine, Truffaut parvient avec habileté à résumé et à illustrer en peu de temps un premier amour avec classe, tendresse et sensibilité.
179
Chinjeolhan geumjassi (Lady Vengeance) (Sympathy for Lady Vengeance) (2005,  R)
Chinjeolhan geumjassi (Lady Vengeance) (Sympathy for Lady Vengeance)
Chan-wook Park continue de façon étonnante sa variation sur un thème sans réellement se répéter, aidé d'une maîtrise cinématographique élégante et d'un style fort agréable et inspiré.
Edit: Mené par un scénario sans failles, alterné par un ordre non chornologique, on apprend peu à peu les clés et les secrets de l'histoire au fur et à mesure que la vengeance se tisse sous nos yeux. Le style et l'esthétique de Park magnifique sans excès ce qui pourrait tomber trop vite dans le trop et l'exagération. Brillant.
180
Jules and Jim (1962,  Unrated)
Jules and Jim
Brillant vif et allumé, Truffaut offre un autre petit bijou qui porte un regard fascinant et fasciné sur deux amis que même le temps et tous les obstacles du monde n'arrive à séparer. Campé par une distribution de qualité et ponctué d'une narration nuancé et d'un rythme inégalable, Truffaut offre un drame autant charmant que navrant. Magnifique.
181
Eyes Wide Shut (1999,  R)
Eyes Wide Shut
Kubrick's first masterpiece in 12 years and last material we'll ever get of him. Help with impressive performances, his incursion in erotic thriller is meticulous and intriguing. It's a mess, yes, but a wonderful one.
182
Little Children (2006,  R)
Little Children
WOnderful movie. First, the direction have some amazing parts and ideas (the slows and of course the admirable narration), second, the actors where simply just exceptional (winslet as normal, connelly, wilson and of course the really trouble interpretation of Earle Haley) and thrid, the story simply put a lot of ideas to make a great analysis and *regard* on a society full of rage, lonelyness, fear and desire of love and being love. Simply troubling and wonderful.
183
Baisers Volés (Stolen Kisses) (1968,  R)
Baisers Volés (Stolen Kisses)
Truffaut peut difficilement cacher son penchant pour Antoine, son personnage fétiche puisqu'à chaque fois il fait preuve d'une inspiration incroyable donnant droit à des films tous plus brillants les uns des autres. Plus léger, le film ne cesse de prouver le côté maladroit et enfantin d'Antoine qui depuis toujours tente de se tailler sa place dans le monde adulte. Brillant.
184
Storytelling (2002,  R)
Storytelling
Okay, it's hot Happiness but god Solondz know how to write and how to direct. It,s so sharp, so real, so true, so in a way funny but devastating. Really great and a lot of ingenious moments.
185
Bakjwi (Thirst) (2009,  R)
Bakjwi (Thirst)
Les vampires, les vampires.. Si on croyait avoir fait le tour de la question alors que le sujet est vu et revu avec insistance dernièrement, on pousse la sauce encore plus loin et fort de son style particulier, Park séduit avec une oeuvre à la fois épique, maîtrisé, inquiétante et sommes toute hilarante. COmbinant magnifique performances, situations inusités, bons coups, répliques savoureuses, bref, Park s'amuse sans réserves et offre un film où l'on s'amuse pleinement et c'est tant mieux!
186
Ai no mukidashi (Love Exposure) (2008,  Unrated)
Ai no mukidashi (Love Exposure)
Épique, hautement original, décapant, hilarant et fortement émouvant, cette fresque de 4 heures ne durent définitivement pas assez longtemps tellement le rythme nous plonge avec aisance dans cet univers disjoncté. Magnifique, décidément.
187
Domicile Conjugal (Bed & Board) (1970,  PG)
Domicile Conjugal (Bed & Board)
Truffaut poursuit son exploration humaine à travers Antoine Doinel et offre ainsi une réflexion poussée, réfléchie, mais hautement amusante sur le couple aidé par la certaine stupidité terre à terre, mais attachante de son personnage fétiche.
188
The Immaculate Conception of Little Dizzle (2008,  Unrated)

Aidé de l'extraordinaire musique de Erik Satie, de l'ambiance admirablement pesée, ainsi que les incroyables performances, le film pousse un regard sombre, lourd et méditatif sur la vie et ce qu'il en reste.

Trick 'r Treat
The ultimate Halloween movie? I,M not familiar with this kind of movie, but that is exactly the kind of terror that I can handle. There's so much talents in this simple story in the way of telling story, of referencing things, of mixing emotions and everything. Full of thrills, of fun, of stories of.. It,s perfect, maybe too much though. But still, this movie is just too good.

The Boss of it All (Direktøren for det hele) (2007,  Unrated)
The Boss of it All (Direktøren for det hele)
Von Trier signe ici une comédie avec une des histoires les plus inédites qu'il m'aie été de voir. Sans jamais se défaire de son style toujours propre au Dogme, il laisse de côté les réflexions sociales, les causes humaines et tout cela en traitant avec humour et absurdité cette histoire aux morales tout de même bien pesées. Von Trier comme on le voit rarement, mais toujours aussi doué.

Louise-Michel (2008,  PG)
Louise-Michel
Hilarant à en pleurer, absurde et pourtant brillant à ses heures, une vraie bouffée de fraîcheur avec des acteurs au talent plus que maîtrisé, en plus des délicieux cameos qui ajoutent à ces situations démentes. Délicieux!

Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance (Boksuneun naui geot) (2002,  R)
Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance (Boksuneun naui geot)
Le premier volet de la trilogie de la vengeance de Park est le premier indice du talent indiscutable de celui-ci pour l'écriture et la mise en scène. Faisant preuve d'une grande maîtrise, il fait preuve d'une imagination débordante toujours empreinte d'humour, d'ironie, de réflexions et de tragédies sur le thème pointilleux de la vengeance. Si parfois la confusion nous fige, il parvient toujours à illuminer ses scènes par son ultime génie. Brillant et le début d'une trilogie d'une grande qualité.

It's not a movie for childrens, but a movie about childhood. A subtle masterpiece that needs many viewing to understand every sense and every message Jonze puts in it. Beautiful from the start, cold and deep down sad and touching, the movie is simply incredible. A big wow if not more.

Les beaux gosses (The French Kissers) (2009,  Unrated)
Les beaux gosses (The French Kissers)
Un vrai bijou très cartoonesque autant dans l'interprétation que la mise en scène où l'exagération (pourtant pas tant exagérée que ça..) des situations, où l'on suit à bout de rire l'analyse prenante et humoristique du "calvaire" de la vie adolescente en ne laissant rien de côté autant du bon que du mauvais. Un film simple mais touchant de réalisme, d'irréalisme, d'exagération, d'adolescence quoi!

The Box (2009,  PG-13)

Kelly's personnal auteur vision is stunning with his less extravagant movie yet. Elegant, slow, mysterious and yet passionate and intriguing, the movie is mixing reality and scient-fiction in a perfect way to let strong philosophical questionnement come to the surface.

Antichrist (2009,  Unrated)
Antichrist
En contraste avec son dernier film, The boss of it all, une comédie, genre inattendu de la part de Lars Von Trier, le réalisateur se livre dans une étude profonde et approfondie du deuil en étayant les mauvaises tournures d'une thérapie lente et compliquée dont en émane une tension incontrôlable alors que, en ayant mélangé vie commune et psychanalyse, tout se soit mélangé au point de ne plus distancier logique, réalité du reste. La femme, déjà aliéné par ses propres recherches en vient à ne plus différencier son mari de son thérapeute (si elle l'a déjà fait) et à complêtement pêter les plombs. Face à cet univers particulier, filmé avec délicatesse et beauté tout en conservant certains aspects du Dogme, en restant pourtant si loin des contraintes, Von Trier livre un film dure, puissant, choquant, mais découlant d'une recherche constructive et poussée du comportement humain.
205
A Serious Man (2009,  R)
A Serious Man
An[other] extraordinary film by the Coen brothers who delivers a strong yet depressive movie about a man who tries to make everything works when everything falls apart (and actually everything really in a way fall apart non-figuratively). Strong with his direction and characters and everything. One of the best movie of the year. Incredible, simply incredible.
