Jesse Eisenberg is the actor who rises. Oscar nomination for The Social Network , the young actor portrays an Orthodox Jew whose destiny seems mapped out: take the store from his father, becoming a rabbi and married to the girl that he has promised. But he denies that destiny imposed and was offered the transportation of ecstasy pills in the Netherlands. Sensitive to this easy money, it will quickly become the mastermind of a vast network that will sell up to one million pills before their "mules" come to be arrested at the airport.
Jewish Connection was inspired by a true story that took place in the late 90s. For his feature debut, director Kevin Asch used it to tell a bildungsroman. The hero is torn between his faith and discipline of religion. For simplicity, it will gradually get rid of his imprisonment and home and confront the drug world. Emancipation amoral as the filmmaker with films without copying outrageously sober its illustrious models. We think a lot about Scorsese, James Gray also for the detailed description of this family with Jewish rituals and dogmas. If the detective story is not sufficiently addressed and if the voltage and commitment are lacking, the parent part is by far the most successful. Although it's hard to imagine that traffickers have managed to coax their "mules" as easily into thinking it was just drugs, Jewish Connection is a film atmospheric and beautifully photographed taking enough confirming the expectations brought by Jesse Eisenberg.
Women from the 6th floor of Philippe Le Guay is a delightful film. Without irony, that's the best adjective to encourage spectators to come and witness the transformation Fabrice Luchini, stockbroker rigorous and austere, with libertarian proponent of good English.
The action takes place in early 60 years in Gaullist France roaring and ossified. Philippe Le Guay talks about what he knows and some details are not deceiving. The importance of cooking the egg cock Sir, time use "exhausting" Madame, filmmaker pin kindly fixed a bourgeoisie in its traditions. The prettiness of the sets and costumes combine to create an old-fashioned atmosphere that will put the English upside down.
The filmmaker has made a bright tale best by avoiding stereotypes and caricatures. He mentions immigration, women's place in society with a positivism that is rapidly gaining the viewer's heart. He could easily fall into the folk or the sordid but the conviction actresses Iberian prevent the film from falling into these pitfalls. Carmen Maura, imperial, Natalia Verbeke, charming newcomer, they provide sweet madness which balances borrowed courtesy of Fabrice Luchini. The actor, in reserve, given its small music and all the marriage with Sandrine Kiberlain gives some well-chosen sequences. But after the English land, the film hits the rocks formatting consensual. Not a referral error, not a revolution not just disturb a scenario without any surprises. It is the quality and the failure of the film, we have offered a pleasant, lightweight entertainment will not leave permanent scars in our cinematic memory.
