Ce vieux rêve qui bouge (2001)
François Ozon directing Ressource Humaines
Well, that's to put it crudely of this film set in a dilapidated factory in some part of rural France with an all-male cast...
To tell it more is to ruin the delightful surprises of the film... What I find it most interesting is the gradual shift from the theme of male-bonding to, well, male-understanding. And at 50 or so minutes, that makes the film all the more succinct and satisfying.
Un divan à New York (1996)
Under-rated
Despite me being a fan of Akermen, I approached the film with apprehension after hearing mostly negative things about it. Surprise surprise that I am very enchanted by this very under-rated film. Probably because most people see it as a strait-laced romantic comedy.Its subtle quirkiness (yes those 2 words can appear together) is what I think make the film stands out. Besides, any films in which I don't find William Hurt nor Juliette Binoche irritating is a miracle in itself.
