Rien ne va plus (1997)
Disappointing
I expected a film with some class, and an interesting twist, as promised by the 5-line summary in the cinema brochure. What subtlety and twistiness of plot that there was did not, for some reason, seem to matter. The film seemed to be going through the motions.
The Swiss scenes in the latter half of the film are well shot, but for me, the most interesting moments all involved Isabelle Huppert doing something surprising with her hair.
The Thin Red Line (1998)
Interesting, but much too long
There were parts of this film which were interesting, and parts which were beautiful, but overall the film was spoiled by the fact it is far too long. The last 45 minutes of action and accompanying navel-gazing flowed over me like water.
I cannot understand why the film was not cut down to say 100 minutes. I found the river scene near the end said very little which could not have been said earlier.
I would definitely like to see a "Director's Cut" of this film which is considerably shorter!
