Louis B. Mayer, the Hollywood raptor, first saw Ava Gardner. He said that she couldn’t talk, could not act, and was astonished at her talent. There’s no way to summon him to an immediate rehabilitation program. He has been eating dandelions root by root since 1957.
Actresses today are not the pretty, pretty women who can do pretty things. They direct, play, and show themselves to be unbeatable in 16 mm format.
Or Valeria Bruni Tedeschi. She wore the “the Almond Trees”, a baptismal font symbol, on Sunday, and summoned ghosts in front of a competition floor. First, Marisa Borini (mini-appearances in the film), Carla Bruni, Nicolas Sarkozy, and his family. There are also many actresses in the noria: Isabelle Adjani and Isabelle Huppert (total green look), Virginie Efira and Melanie Laurent. Sharon Stone’s appearance is a bit of lightning. – Slows down traffic on the steps.
This film is a melancholy and lively movie. It’s a bubbling torrent of lightness that knows how to invite itself. The filmmaker dives back into the matrix from her 1985 training at Pierre Romans (Micha Lecot). He resurrects the spirit and sex of the Almond Trees, where there was a climate for seduction, rough sex, and drugs. His classmates, Agnes Jaoui (Micha Lescot), Eva Ionesco; Vincent Perez, Thibault De Montalembert, Bruno Todeschini – are portrayed under fictitious projections. Patrice Chereau (Louis Garrel), a demanding, charismatic, and angry demiurge (we call it “Platonov” because the game is a combat sport for him). Stella (Nadia Tereszkiewicz) is Valeria’s name. She is a young, well-to-do girl, who quickly falls for Etienne (Sofiane Benjamincer), the bad boy from the gang. Twelve apprentices retained, twelve auditions in shot-reverse-shot, twelve outstanding actors who – in a love affair with Romans. A candidate rejected at Amandiers was converted into a waitress at a cafet. All exist, Bruni Tedeschi pampering each of them equally and applying precepts to the letter de Chereau. It’s the work that matters, and not how long the role is on stage.
We are a feverish autofiction. We burn the lights in a red vehicle and our lives at both ends. We shout “Andy!” from Rita Mitsouko. We tremble when we learn we have AIDS. Valeria Bruni Tedeschi shares her heart and the stories of her actors. Always look for the climax, and make sure you do so wisely. Highlight his sometimes cruel sense of humor (Chereau/Garrel, odious). Avoid the slap from one of his students who won’t throw it at you. She signs her most ambitious and successful film, “Les Amandiers”. She pays Chereau a loving, but not confiding, in devotion homage. He will not deny it if it is seen from above.
The director of “Les Amandiers” brilliantly fictionalizes her years spent training at Nanterre’s school under Pierre Romans, and Patrice Chereau. The director also reveals a formidable group of young actors.
The actress, 36, has appeared in six films within a span of a year. She is now competing at Cannes with David Cronenberg’s “Crimes of the Future.” Survey and meeting.
French sung drama, Serge Bozon with Tahar Rahim and Virginie Efira. Alain Chamfort (1h40).
An actor who was left behind on his wedding day recognizes the woman who rejected him in another woman while he is preparing for Moliere’s “Don Juan”. The latter returns to stage to give him the line. Don Juan is made a “sincere and losing” being who is helpless, which is why this post-MeToo variation revolves around the figure of the seducer, played by Tahar Rahim, who wonders about his actions.
The film’s fantasy – characters hum when their hearts are open – is embarrassing. The staging is a chore, lacking grace or binding, which freezes the film and makes it seem like a string of inert intents. Virginie Efira, Alain Chamfort and, most importantly, Float Virginie, are touching statues of Commander of old melancholy beauties. The music of emotions demands that you be in tune with them. N.S.
