Un illustre inconnu

So poignant and subtly played, Kassovitz's performance and the screenwriting by Matthieu Delaporte (and Alexandre de La Patellière) are weightless, crystalline in execution. It's clear Delaporte's background.in theater was inspired by the great Luigi Pirandello and transposed here brilliantly. I had to actually check whether this was based on a book. Super understated. The casting of the Downton Abbey villainess is interesting and Marie-Josée Croze is very moving. The prosthetics are impressive and blend seamlessly. It's fascinating to watch Mathieu Kassovitz disappear literally into the role.

Nice movie. Good acting. I wouldn't say it's a masterpiece, as others have stated, but entertaining and interesting nonetheless, would have liked to see more of Paris in it. Solid 7.5.

This film is excellent. Bizarre and suspenseful, with beautiful cinematography, a gripping story and excellent acting.

What kind of person wants to inhabit other people's lives? An actor. Only with an actor there's not the same type of risk.So he's a bit of an adrenaline junkie. I kept wondering what he was going to do in their position. Would he be a killer? In this case he takes the musician and makes him a better person.

This film is excellent. Bizarre and suspenseful, with beautiful cinematography, a gripping story and excellent acting. I had a feeling that it would be good when I saw that Matthieu Kasovitz (director of La Haine) was involved.
