Innocents


aka. The Dreamers


Setting kerusuhan mahasiswa di Paris tahun 1968, Matthew seorang mahasiswa asal Amerika yang mengambil jurusan Film, tinggal bersama dua kakak beradik, Theo (Louis Garrell) dan Isabelle (Eva Green). Mereka sama2 penggemar film, dan setiap hari mengisi waktu dengan main tebak2an film. Hukuman bagi yang salah menebak semakin ekstrim, lebih ke arah eksplorasi seksuil (??).

Karena setting-nya udah jadul, referensi film yang dijadikan tebak2an makin jadul lagi..so, bukan generasi kita utk memahami.

INNOCENTS: 2,5/5
GAMBAR: 3/5
CERITA: 2,5/5
ACTING: 2,5/5
SEKS: XX (explicit!)

Note (from imdb.com):
The tumultuous political landscape of Paris in 1968 serves as the backdrop for a tale about three young cineastes who are drawn together through their passion for film. Matthew, an American exchange student, pursuing his education abroad in Paris, becomes friends with a French brother and sister duo, named Theo and Isabelle, who share a common love of the cinema. While the May 1968 Paris student riots--which eventually shut down most of the French government--are happening around them, the three friends develop a relationship unlike anything Matthew has ever experienced, or will ever encounter again. ~ Sujit R.

Arsène Lupin

est un personnage de fiction français créé par Maurice Leblanc au début du XXe siècle, à la profession particulière : gentleman-cambrioleur (satu karakter fiksi Prancis yang diciptakan oleh novelis Maurice Leblanc pada permulaan abad ke-20, yang berprofesi sebagai Gentleman Burglar).


ARSÈNE LUPIN: 3,5/5
GAMBAR: 4/5 (kostum + sinematografi)
CERITA: 3,5/5
ACTION: 3,5/5

Note (from movies.msn.com):
A retelling of the glamorous life of Arsene Lupin, the celebrated jewel thief of belle epoque Europe. Tired of boring rural life at the family's luxurious castle in Normandy, Arsene's father instructs him to steal a particularly necklace once worn by Marie Antoinette. Once the necklace is passed off to his father, Arsene goes to sleep, only to wake the next morning to discover his father dead and the family cast out. Still on the run from the law as an adult, Arsene returns to his childhood home and, with a false name, takes a job as the Duke's martial arts teacher. One night, though, he spies on a gathering of Royalist plotters as they condemn to death the Countess of Cagliostro. Lupin saves her and thus begins their intertwining fates. Decades fly by and historical events whirl around them as their mutual dependency -- sometimes as lovers, sometimes as enemies -- deepens.

Note (from fandango.com):
Dead End and Big Nothing writer/director Jean-Baptiste Andrea scripts this comedic horror film about an AC/DC-loving high school skater boy who acquires a most unusual cell phone in a bid to impress the beautiful new transfer student from New York City. Sid is your typical high school rebel: He likes is music loud, he rides his skateboard fast, and he's got a big crush on gorgeous new student Angie. Happening across a mysterious and curiously devilish cell phone at a Chinese bizarre, Sid becomes convinced that Angie will ditch high school playboy Virgile and give him a shot when she catches a glimpse of the cool new gadget. But it wasn't Sid who chose the phone; it was the phone that chose Sid. Now, as the phone that can grant any wish becomes the center of Sid's rapidly shrinking universe, the devoted rebel becomes less interested in romance, and dangerously wrapped up in fantasy. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

TRUANDS: 3/5
GAMBAR: 3,5/5
CERITA: 3/5
ACTION: 3/5 (plus sadis!)
SEKS: xX (nudity here and there :p)


Note (from fandango.com):
Secret Agents director Frederic Schoendoerffer teams with screenwriter Yann Brion for this violent crime drama concerning a brutal kingpin imprisoned by authorities, and the conflict that arises among his underlings as greed taking precedence over loyalty. Claude Corti (Philippe Caubere) is a ruthless crime lord whose creative use of power drills and metal rods have earned him both the fear and respect of the Paris underworld. When Corti is eventually captured by the police and sentenced to prison, the streets become divided by those who intend to carry on with business as usual, and those who see the departure as a notable opportunity for advancement. Beatrice Dalle, Benoit Magimel, and Olivier Marchal co-star in an unflinching look at a world where the only thing cheaper than life is loyalty. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide
