Le cou de la girafe (2004)
Story written from life
Nice story about a little child (Mathilde) who runs away from home in Paris, where she lives with her mother, who is divorced from Mathildes father. Mathilde chases up her grandpa to 'escape' from an pension hospital searching for her grandma (Madelaine, who was the big love of the grandpa but was left from him as she had an affair with his best friend 30 years ago)
The child's mother looking for her daughter find both near the Spain border. She never saw her mother since she was 10, as her father never forgave Madelaine. Thus she realizes now what she has missed in her life and is going together with her daughter to a small Spanish village.
At the end both find Madelaine; but she is old and cannot remember or recognize anybody anymore.
Nice and emotional story told with humor and sensibility.
The statement is that you cannot get back forgiven possibilities in your life (without risking that it will be to late) as well as it is never to late trying to forgive people their mistakes.
Well acted from Sandrine Bonnaire, Claude Rich and -especially- Loisa Pili as little Mathilde
Havoc (2005)
Brilliant story and music
Excellent, brilliant acted movie about two rich girls dream to join a real Latino drug gang in East L.A, which ends in a disaster for both of them.
Great soundtrack and excellent story.Showed as first 'final version' World'Preview at the Munich film festival Thought about the movie still one day later, which is not often the case - thus had something. Violence and Sex are a little bit to much appearing but seems to be justified with the story
Showed hard and heavy the difference between imagination and reality; dreams and errors are normally the right of young people but nevertheless you need to be careful if you 'play with fire'.
It always can change the game (also called life) in a dramatic way.
That's what the movie is about : without saying that's wrong or that'S right. especially the - more or less - open end (I am looking forward to see different end shootings on the DVD of this movie) clearly states out: It is everybody's own decision what to do or what better not to do.
My summary (also for young people)is : Go and see this movie; you will not regret it !
