Nice, a film that actually gets better the longer I analyze him. And if that is happening only in my head is something that perfectly fits the theme of the film, besides it being the film offers a very interesting look at how far should you go to write your story. As a writer State the importance of the story above all else, and where would you put that line? Couple that with uncertainty about what is reality and what is fiction and you get a very interesting art-house movie, if you like Haneke films like Cache and Funny Games, or Hitchcock's Rear Window, slapping a few films mention what I was thinking while watching ...
The story Germain (Fabrice Luchini) is a French teacher at a high school somewhere in France. He has a pretty dull and extinguished life with his wife Jeanne (Kristin Scott Thomas) and fed up with it that his students every year appear to be stupid. dfl His surprise is therefore not surprising if he suddenly "read one essay Claude (Ernst Umhauer), a somewhat timid boy in the back row, but in his description of a weekend, it shows about writing talent to have. He does quite the first time in the story derogatory report he comes home with a classmate calls up something of tension, but Germain but what is keen to help develop. dfl Claude his talent dfl
Slightly directed by Claude Germain therefore continues to dissemble his friendship with Rapha, because secretly feel that Claude feels somewhat attracted to Rapha's bored mother (Emmanuelle Seigneur). But Claude Germain's lyrics also beginning to assess credibility you feel already that Germain goes on thin ice, because Claude namely writes like a civilized version of Hunter S. Thompson (Fear and Loathing ...), as he writes about what happens dfl to him, he immerses himself in his subject matter. And as his 'mentor' dfl then sends him on credibility, then there is not a risk that he means sometimes Claude also a dangerous way to send ..? This is also the time when it gets really dfl interesting, especially because ultimately self-Germain also part of Claude's dfl story begins to be. This also seems to be the relationship between Claude Germain and slow to change, because who's pulling the strings actually do?
Doubt Perhaps best to François - Swimming Pool - Ozons Dans la maison is how he got that I doubt the entire film was doing what was or was not the stories that Claude wrote, "where" it together and much in the minds of the readers - was - Germain and his wife. Or mine ... It scans the line between reality and fantasy a major theme in the movie is still great was reinforced for me by using the book, Voyage au bout de la nuit Celine in the climactic scene. This of course happens for a reason, dfl and possibly caused by ozone book does the same thing that ever caused me. If there is a book that - at least while reading - literally changed the way I was in life, and thus was my reality-fiction perception of influence (albeit in a slightly different way), then is that the book does. "Fortunately," I realized that while reading incidentally on time and I turned it consciously, dfl but Ozon experienced that same book as me, then I understand perfectly why he used it in the movie ...
Casting In addition dfl I must compliment Ozone in the casting of his actors. Umhauer (Claude) has the perfect combination of arrogance, dfl a sadistic smile but also a kind of impotence, which caused him throughout dfl the film remains so mysterious that the viewer does not know exactly what his intentions are (if he already has it themselves). Scott Thomas (Jeanne) is actually a British actress (think The English Patient), I forgot after ten seconds. In addition, it appears Luchini (Germain) in real life "to be a great literary and theater lover - he also gives theater about literature - so that put even one extra layer on the story go, because for Luchini themselves were fact and fiction so anyway all mixed up.
Tasty insecurity And all those extra layers I felt ultimately yielded me a nice 'uncertainty'. Because continuous still "seemed to be poured over a layer or even a deeper layer was gone, it seem more metaphysical story to be.
