Cloverfield
Cloverfield (2008)
10/10
terrific!
10 February 2008
I haven't been this scared in a cinema for a while!

Two of the movies i hate are Godzilla and blairwitch. But cloverfield has nothing to do with those two, except the way of filming,which may be disliked by many.

Even if the story is very classical, the main point of this movie is how it plays with your nerves. the fear is skillfully distributed all along the movie, within the different situations and concerns. And it worked. I really enjoyed it. Playing is not that bad, FX are nice, and they're not the on the mean argument of the movie. The camera work may be surprising, but it enforce the feeling of amateur shooting.

A very nice Hollywood production.

Don't Worry, I'm Fine
Don't Worry, I'm Fine (2006)
9/10
simply great

Philippe Lioret is french movie director. Most peoples haven't even hear about him. here's what the movie is about.

Elise,let's call her lily, is a twenty years old girls. When she comes back from Spain, her twin brother is not at home anymore. He has left home after he had intensively argued with his father, and lily's missing him a lot. Very soon, lily will be reproaching to her parents not to do enough to find him.

This classic conflict between parents and their twenty years old daughter may seem ordinary, but.. But Melanie Laurent, who plays lily, is simply great. Kad merad who plays his father is astonishing too,just like every single character. the movie is becoming progressively more and more better. Although the movie beginning didn't seem to be fantastic, when i left the theater, i was thinking: what a slap in my face!!!

And if you want to see a great movie that put in scene particular relationships between different peoples, that will blow you away,don't hesitate, go see this movie.

Nina's House
Nina's House (2005)
10/10
once upon a time, no so far away, not so long ago......

Warning: Spoilers
Well, may bay it's because i wasn't expecting it, but this movie blown me away.

this movie shows Jews children and teens in the early 1944, while France is still partially invaded by Nazi, hidden from gestapo - waiting for their parents - in houses called hope houses. Well you, guess it, tears orphanage houses would have been a more realistic name.

While the whole world (including themselves) discovers what "final solution" was, surviving children and teens freed from Buchenwald will soon arrive. They'll have to live together, with the scared and traumatized newcomers. Most of them don't speak french, and through the education, they'll be given, we can see how they discover again what means freedom and life.

I really enjoy the sobriety of this movie, sometimes very sad, sometimes wonderful, Richard Dembo, try to keep a fair point of view, and avoid a unappropriated miserabilism. This is also his last movie since he died during the post production.

inspired from a true story, realized under real Nina surveillance, i really enjoyed it, and this show more on a dark period of french history.
