Le souper (1992)
10/10
Extraordinary dialogues.
22 July 2017
The film is identical to the play, the actors are the same and the dialogues identical. It is a film sumptuous by its dialogues of exceptional quality, unfortunately, I doubt that the subtitles or a translation can make the extraordinary subtlety, which is the problem of many French films too based on sophisticated dialogues Untranslatable or whose flavor can not be rendered with a translation.

Wicked humor.
8 November 2014
Like all French film comedy dialogs are almost impossible to translate into another language, a pity because this is a comedy feast of humor, sometimes very dark. The story is simple, it is just an excuse to create a series of hilarious situations in which actors are a pleasure to spread wickedness and stupidity from the sublime sometimes flirt with the excellent taste bad. I do not know if the French actors (Josiane Balasko, Thierry Lhermitte, Gérard Jugnot, Anemone, Martin Lamotte, Bruno Moynot, Anne-Claire Chazel, Christian Clavier, Jacques François) are known in the Anglo-Saxon world, they are famous France for their many comedies, often acidic. The American remake is a true abomination, that it is better never see.

Unfortunately untranslatable.
8 November 2014
This French film is a marvel for its dialogues, they are, unfortunately, and like most French comedies, completely untranslatable into another language. Not only is it humorous expressions, but in addition, a number of expressions are comical in their employment against, by transforming nouns into adjectives or the reverse, by the use of expressions that do not match social milieu of the characters through the use of games typically french words without equivalence in another language. Most situations can be understood only if we know the French life, so it is normal that this cinematic gem have only limited success outside the French public.

Best of the best.
8 November 2014
Brokeback Mountain is the epitome of humanism, the most successful of all the films about love, truth, from birth to completion. The acting is a world of cinema, the expression of feelings, hardly pressed, brings emotional power never felt in a movie. To all this must be added refined decorations and music in perfect harmony that give this film a rare formal beauty. The story seems trivial, but beware, there are so many levels of reading, it must not only undergo the story, he must decipher the story, and then we discover a masterpiece of subtlety, a marvel credibility, which far surpasses anything that has been done in cinema. Watch and enjoy this great movie.
