Strange Birds (2017)
7/10
a slow lancinating rhythm style of delivery here
17 September 2020
The main actor now in his 80s once was compared to Alain Delon

the main actress is Isabelle Huppert's daughter and extremely pretty and very good at acting too

there is also Virginie Ledoyen as her usual spunky self; always a big presence even in a secondary role

It has almost the quality of a play so few being involved

We also have arguably the most "Quartier Latin" street of the Latin Quarter Rue de La Montagne Sainte Geneviève

It is a film you could only make make in Paris or maybe in The Village or Plaka in Athens; a sort of highly-cultured bubble away from the world most know as normal

There is a tryst-like event and then it goes away

Nothing truly happens but then much happens too

There is a mystery from the past coming back but we never really know the detail

It is a short film 70 mn in length ...
