I sat down to watch the 2017 French movie "Laissez bronzer les cadavres" (aka "Let the Corpses Tan") without having heard about it. But I read the synopsis and I must admit that it sounded like this movie from writers and directors Hélène Cattet and Bruno Forzani could be interesting.
But it turned out that it wasn't...
This movie was strange. From the way the movie was shot, which was a very confusing and constant jumping back and forth between different angles and view points from the different characters, to a very messy and entangled storyline that made little or no sense, to the whole aspect of not knowing what was actually going on.
Yeah, directors Hélène Cattet and Bruno Forzani just went overboard with the avantgarde approach to the movie, and it resulted in a bizarre mess of a movie that made no sense and provided no entertainment. I actually gave up on the movie about halfway through. At that point I just couldn't take it anymore, as nothing in the movie felt entertaining, and the fact that nothing felt complete or wholehearted in the movie just dragged it even further down.
Now, I am sure that the actors and actresses were putting on good enough acting performances, though there wasn't much of any drama acting or anything, it was mostly just people running to and from and shooting randomly. Oh, and I nearly forgot, the characters in the movie were about as interesting a grains of sand.
Nay, this movie was a massive swing and a miss from writers and directors Hélène Cattet and Bruno Forzani, and I was more than disappointed with what the movie turned out to be, because the synopsis made it could like it had potential for being a watchable movie.
The movie's cover was rather interesting and very much something that I hadn't seen presented in such a manner on a movie cover before. But the movie itself, well, you get where I'm going here.
My rating of "Let the Corpses Tan" lands on a three out of ten stars, based mostly upon the production value of the movie. In terms of entertainment, then "Let the Corpses Tan" failed horribly.
