Comme un avion (2015)
Boring Childish Midlife Vacuum
I forced myself watching the DVD on this repeated remark: "This kind of movie makes you feel happy". It didn't work for me. It felt like witnessing a boring, stupid, childish and pointless mid life fraud with his gadgets, showing the endless possibilities of being senile. Infinite. I suffered for twenty minutes when this quote of Evelyn Waugh hit me and made me stop this painful experience: "I did not know it was possible to be so miserable and live but I am told that this is a common experience." Well, you can see it on screen, now. Nothing to compare to « Idiotern» 1998 Danish Dogme film, brilliant liberating life lesson, and Mike Judge 2006 "Idiocraty".
She's Funny That Way (2014)
You are not the target
Unless you are senile and under some blue pill prescription, run away!
I stayed till the end to measure for what purpose top actors can be humiliated and how badly. It was a terrible kind of cinema looking at its own belly button. And the end - Tarantino coming to fetch the lucky whore that dreamed to be an actress -, showed me that, in the world of hooker consumers, women have to be hysterical sluts with poor lines. QED.
It seems that Bogdanovich and Stratten have a real talent to take the worse parts of not the best movies. From Lubitch's 'Cluny Brown', Edward's 'Breakfast at Tiffany's', for the obvious: I wasn't so much interested to dig deeper into those pointless references when too many of fake smelly nuggets are displayed in public.
After a certain age (2?) you are not suppose to show everyone how well you digestion went.
