Reinventing Marvin (2017). 1h 55m

“A coming of age film , done in a different and somewhat unusual way.nI do not share the opinion of u0026quot;Horst in Transition/10th ofJuly 2018u0026quot; who belittlesnthe whole endeavour as forgettable.n Sure, the stories about coming of age are often similar ( the story of u0026quot;Romeo and Julia u0026quot; has been told over and over too) and the idea of becoming u0026quot;liberatedu0026quot; through u0026quot;artu0026quot; from a miserable social background–nhas been the theme in u0026quot;Billy Elliotu0026quot; and u0026quot;Fameu0026quot; and many other films too.nBut I liked the way this film was done with flash-backs, with a slow moving rythm,nwith impressive actors-especially the poor white trash family, and the sharp contrasts between the heroes former life and the seemingly aimless search for his destiny in Paris among the rich, the u0026quot;artsy fartsyu0026quot;, the u0026quot;would beu0026#39;su0026quot; and the losers.nHaving some knowledge of fine arts, theatre and the gay world helps to like that film- Itu0026#39;s not a american popcorn blockbuster for the masses !”
