Les Poupées Russes


Russian Dolls

..5 years after


Meneruskan kisah dari film L'Auberge Espagnole, sekarang Xavier (Romain Duris) telah mewujudkan mimpinya menjadi seorang penulis walaupun sebetulnya yang ia tulis adalah skenario serial drama opera sabun di TV. Terkadang menjadi jurnalis atau penulis bayangan (ghost writer). Dengan pekerjaan seperti itu, kehidupan Xavier belum cukup mapan.

Xavier bertemu lagi dengan Wendy (Kelly Reilly) serta kakaknya William (Kevin Bishop) yang ia kenal di sekuel pertama. Dengan Wendy, ia berkolaborasi menulis script drama tivi, dan dengan William, ia diundang untuk hadir di acara pernikahannya dengan seorang ballerina asal Rusia, di Rusia tentunya. Xavier juga harus membagi waktu untuk menjadi penulis bayangan untuk biografi Ceila, seorang model terkenal. Kekasihnya yang dulu Martine (Audrey Tautou), masih mempunyai perasaan thd Xavier dan masih membina pertemanan. Di antaranya kesibukannya, Xavier masih mencari-cari tambatan hati yang tepat. So, siapa yang akan ia pilih?

Der Rote Baron


The Red Baron


Kisah penerbang "ace" Jerman Manfred von Richthofen dalam Perang Dunia pertama (1914-1918).
Agak menganggu dan membuat saya sangat kecewa, film ini disyuting dengan menggunakan bahasa Inggris, maksudnya berbicara dalam bahasa Inggris / speaking English padahal aktor-aktornya orang Jerman semua, dan ini kan sejarah orang Jerman?? Saya tak mengerti mengapa harus dibikin seperti ini sehingga 'feel' ke-Jerman-annya tidak begitu terasa. Seribu sayang, I would not recommend this movie.

DER ROTE BARON: 2/5
GAMBAR: 3/5
CERITA: 2/5
ACTION: 3/5

Note:
Baron Manfred von Richtofen (Matthias Schweighöfer) is the most feared and celebrated pilot of the German air force in World War I. To him and his companions, air combats are events of sporty nature, technical challenge and honorable acting, ignoring the terrible extent of war. But after falling love with the nurse Kate (Lena Headey), Manfred realize he is only used for propaganda means. Caught between his disgust for the war, and the responsibility for his fighter wing, von Richthofen sets out to fly again.

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.

SWIMMING POOL
DNFW


Note (from imdb.com):
Sarah Morton is a famous British mystery author. Tired of London and seeking inspiration for her new novel, she accepts an offer from her publisher John Bosload to stay at his home in Luberon, in the South of France. It is the off-season, and Sarah finds that the beautiful country locale and unhurried pace is just the tonic for her--until late one night, when John's indolent and insouciant French daughter Julie unexpectedly arrives. Sarah's prim and steely English reserve is jarred by Julie's reckless, sexually charged lifestyle. Their interactions set off an increasingly unsettling series of events, as Sarah's creative process and a possible real-life murder begin to blend dangerously together.
