Talk of Angels (1998)
A romantic's view
I enjoyed this movie, since I tend to like movies about longing and love. Vincent Perez has eyes that just melt the screen and Polly Walker is breathtakingly gorgeous. I liked the interaction between her character and her Irish friends - especially Frances McDormand whose face says so much with hardly a word.
I think it would have been better if they showed a little bit more interaction between Vincent P. and Polly. Loved the actress that read the poem aloud. Her voice is oddly soothing.
Also, got a kick out of her friend with the kooky hat!
I know this is the type of movie that is more of a woman's movie - I know my husband could probably not sit through it.
La double vie de Véronique (1991)
The puppets were fantastic!
I just saw this film and I kept waiting for an explanation. I guess I wasn't in the mood for dreamy, come up with your own ideas as to why/what was happening in the movie. I enjoyed watching the expressions on Irene Jacob's beautiful face, but I agree with another user, that found the puppets "engaging". That scene was magical to me, the puppets had so much emotion to them. More emotion than I've seen on some actor's faces. The way the puppeteer moved their hands was so delicate. I thought the actor that played the puppeteer was intense and attractive. The rest of the movie was okay, and although I love "artsy" movies this one was too "artsy" for me.
