La vida de nadie (2002)
Based in a real story
I suppose this movie is not your typical Spanish thriller as it is based in a real story that took place abroad. The movie is based in the real story of French man Jean-Claude Romand, and the real case is much more gory and scary than the film. In the real story of Mr. Romand the family didn't escape, after years of lies he decided to end it all by killing his wife, two children, parents and dog, and although he tried to kill himself, it seems he didn't try very hard as he survived. I watched the movie with people next to me talking about how it could never happen in real life that all these lies went undetected, I was laughing as I had read the book about Mr. Romand, and knew it did happen. I like José Coronado in this movie, he offered us a good performance, as the rest of the crew.
Comédie de l'innocence (2000)
Typical French movie... nothing happens for 90 minutes.
This movie is like modern art. Have you ever been to a modern art museum and seen a white canvass with a black line through the middle? I bet you have, and didn't say to your "arty" friend that you thought it was a pile of sh** just in case they thought you were not an "intellectual", well that's exactly how I felt with this movie.
Typical French movie, the dialogue is just "how are you?" 10 minutes pause "not too bad" 10 minutes pause "my friend died" 10 minutes pause "really?" 20 minutes pause "shit happens" 10 minutes pause...
Basically, there is no story, nobody really knows what's happening half the time, the only thing that keeps us going is thinking, well it's a French movie after all.. there will be some nakedness ... but nope.
I would just rent it out again if I wanted to make fun of some pseudo-intellectual friends of mine who would probably comment on how profound nothingness is!
