Tout est pardonné (2007)
69KTout est pardonné: Directed by Mia Hansen-Løve. With Paul Blain, Marie-Christine Friedrich, Victoire Rousseau, Constance Rousseau. A father and daughter are reunited some 11 years after the father’s drug addiction tore the family apart.
“This is a remarkable debut – confident in its structure and in its storytelling, but slight overall, and packs less of an emotional punch than I think it wants to deliver.nA sense of near-verité pervades the scenes as the camera seems to almost intrude on scenes of domestic (dis)harmony, and drugged-up parties, but when the narrative takes more dramatic turns, the actors and the film arenu0026#39;t up to the challenge.nConstance Rosseau is luminously beautiful (Check out the poster image) but she canu0026#39;t convey the confusion, distress, and mixed feelings her character is asked to deliver late in the movie, and the movie falls down as a result.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis is the first Mia Hansen-Løve directed movie I have seen, but with this confident a debut, I know I need to see more. An honourable failure.”
