"Le concert" ~ 8/10

The best scene of this movie is, obviously, the last one, the one with the concert announced by the title. The one in which Mélanie Laurent actually entered a trance state whilst filming (sic).
The rest is good comedy with great actors (Berléand, Abelanski...).

And Mélanie Laurent gets the most beautiful part, once again well deserved as she's now the best french actress of her generation. Allied with Tchaikovsky's divine music, the whole thing is really worth the watch (and the listening to, thanks to Sarah Nemtanu's violin).

"The limits of control" ~ 9/10


Ten days ago, I had a dream which led to the idea of a film a bit similar to what Jim Jarmusch did in his new dreamy movie.
As he said himself prior to the projection, it's something to watch as if we were under the influence of hallucination mushrooms, which, seconded by Christopher Doyle's mad cinematography, proves to be the best way to appreciate this wonderful flick.
This international cast of actors is all good, and Rabinowitz's editing sometimes astounding.
An excellent movie, according to the way I love dreams and cinema joined together.
