Der Schaum der Tage (2013)
7KDer Schaum der Tage: Directed by Michel Gondry. With Romain Duris, Audrey Tautou, Gad Elmaleh, Omar Sy. Wealthy, inventive bachelor Colin endeavors to find a cure for his lover Chloe after she’s diagnosed with an unusual illness caused by a flower growing in her lungs.
“To me, this movie does what movies are for: activate the imagination. In this case, touching a theme not as alien as one might wish it to be in a fantastic setting. The u0026#39;fantasticu0026#39; way in which people and institutions appear is far from random; it feels to me like a hyperdream of familiar entities and sensations, their logical extreme. Rich, vivid imagination which enters your brain and puts hooks in it. Loved the book and Gondry made it even more alive for me. Quite a feat. If you do like the movie, please check out the book (and also other titles by Vian). Donu0026#39;t want to generalize too much but if you like movies by Terry Gilliams you will probably like this a lot, too. Rats, writing reviews is hard and Iu0026#39;m not very good at it; but i so disagree with the IMDb-grade for this film (currently 5.8) and the general reviews Iu0026#39;ve read so far that I had to create an account just to weigh in. So please go see this film and find out for yourself!u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eDid I mention already that it is beautifully made, and at times very funny?”
