What a beautiful story: 40 Her Birthday receives a businesswoman a letter, even a whole series of letters and parcels - of himself when she was seven years old, she had written the meaningful birthday post and entrusted to the notary of the village, which they now dutifully and on time when adult itself brings about. This reacts first bored, then surly, it really annoyed, but it can, finally, the magic of the child's words and treasure not avoid and can be gradually to a reunion with their own long-forgotten thoughts, desires, concerns and liabilities.
As far as the story of L'âge de raison , the new film with Sophie Marceau . But this is a nice idea, its cinematic realization of the other - and as you will be sucked into a jumble of clichés and predictable all life, all the freshness, until it ends in a rather conventional, bloodless film. It starts with the main character, the careerist Marguerite / Margaret, who oscillates like her first name between French and English, hustles in saloon and pilot of glass palace at luxury hotel, facing up neckline and down stilettos. There is a contrast as possible to the village of her childhood, between the ocher-colored walls, the Time has stood still when the old man on the dusty square in front of the mairie play petanque and the notary the next throw has to be more important than his ringing cell phone. As are all the other ideas they travel to himself as the re-encounter with the school treasurer, or the confrontation with the hung-up in the social settlement brother. And the goal of this trip is (from a playful allusion to the exuberant fantasy of the Seven Years' apart) simply incredible conventional.
shame - here was an opportunity missed to do with a little more careful writer of a beautiful idea of a great film. What would have been possible decorators and designers to interpret Title: The photos, texts, scraps and treasures of the world's children, Margaret and meet us fall from the envelopes and parcels by Marguerite spray before childlike creativity and still limited by any expediency kidney imagination. I am almost in my cinema seat got a bit sad that as a child I had this terrific idea and do not therefore never used such a letter would receive.
Product: L'âge de raison was launched recently in the western Swiss cinemas, whether the film will also overcome the Röstigraben is, as always, uncertain. In the absence of a really good movie site to link to the (surprisingly convincing) Trailer .
