Woman no s step children not even a dog

"Carlos", by Olivier Assayas

with Edgar Ramirez, Nora von Waldstätten, Martha Higareda, Rami Farah, Christoph Bach, Alexander Scheer, Jule Böwe. 2: 45 pm.

Presented at Cannes in its long version of more than 5 hours, and then cut into three episodes on Canal , the great film by Olivier Assayas arrives on screens this week. Short version (2: 45 pm still...). Of course, it would have preferred that the full version was shown, why not in two parts as in "Mesrine" In any case, need to rush to see "Carlos". If one has lived these years to lead where the French extreme left hesitated between armed struggle and the refusal of the violence, will be the questions, dilemmas, contradictions, hopes and gridlock of an entire generation. If one ignores all of the past, you will discover a world engulfed, that of before the fall of the wall, but whose echoes if distant step are still heard. It is primarily a film breathless, intelligent, directed and performed with talent. The grandeur and decadence of Carlos, the terrorist who made fantasize a certain youth of the time and terrorizing political devices around the world, are beautifully worn by Edgar Ramirez.

"Killing small English", by Jonathan Lynn

with Bill Nighy, Emily Blunt, Rupert Grint, Rupert Everett. 1: 38.

Victor Maynard is the killer for hire the most expensive in Europe and, subsequently, the most effective. The more discreet also. Person has never seen his face. It must be said that he has it in the blood. For seven years, his father, already a cador of the profession, he was offered a Beretta as a birthday gift. A mark of affection. His mother, now in a wheelchair, is not for all row cars. It can still effectively handle the rifle barrel sawn when the circumstances so require. In the profession, it is known, nothing is worse than the feeling, even sentimentality. And this dear Victor excels to carry out its tasks ruthlessly to ban any emotion of his life without forgetting to its rear. Woman no (s), step children, not even a dog. It was effective without Rose, a pétroleuses from refourguer a forged Rembrandt at a local sponsor. The beautiful, happily unconscious, started in a dirty mess. She does not know, but Victor has in its sights. Only, at the time to support the trigger: impossible. The unflappable Victor cannot. A body defending, it falls under the spell of the young woman. Trampling its mission agenda, change of camp. Now, it will deal with the close protection of Rose, now threatened by "the second killer for hire the most effective Europe." Which would like to have stuff Victor and earn the title of number one all categories of the specialty. Inspired by the film by Pierre Salvadori, "Moving target", "Small murders to the English" fits with happiness in the register of the British police comedy (we think of "A fish called Wanda"). The main actor, Bill Nighy, summarizes well enough the company: "It is tender, funny and completely settler." Could not be better to say.

"I love you very much", of Philippe Locquet

with Firmine Richard, Max Clavelly, Julien Crampon. 1: 31.

As for wand, there is a "tradition" French cinema: films sprinkled flour, receiving the support of the d'Azur region to stage good bowls of coffee milk and jams House. In this noble line, "I love you very much" tells the story of three half-brothers who are never seen and who, on the death of their mother, will spend the summer in granny. She learns good manners, and in the end, they love very much. This film without great originality is still slightly evolve the kind with a majorette Strip followed a threesome of teens on the edge of a swimming pool to the Larry Clark. It is: the mother Denis died, Miss France nude poses and it encanaille in the village.
