Old french short from the 50s. I tried not to read to far into it because it seemed like one of those movies you just sit back and smile with. T'is addorbz.
It was a little dated, the dialogue could've been better and there were weak moments but it still held my attention and kept me maybe 75% interested. It's about redemption. A criminal is selected for an experimental drug meant to deter violent behavior but his past catches up with him. Few twists here and there, kinda predictable except the last one. Ray's acting was stellar.
They coulda cut the first 30 minutes and it woulda been fine. I was expecting more considering the reviews, especially with the car stunts. The soundtrack was terrible modern 80s synthpop dribble. I ****ing hated the soundtrack. There's a cool scene were a dude gets his head stomped to puddin'. Another dude gets his throat stuck a few times over with a kitchen knife. Other than that, major disappointment. One of those movies that has you wondering if it's a ploy with enough violence to get halfwit dudes in and enough dreamy pretty boy bs to keep the girls interested. To be fare, Carey Mulligan was the only part keeping me interested but she was much better in Never Let Me Go.
Cryptic and eerie. And very imaginative. Kinda slow, not much action and not very eventful. Based on a book I haven't read. People are grown for their organs and are harvested once they reach a certain age. A love triangle, one third unrequited. Good watch.
