These series loosely based on historical events around the French Revolution is beautifully filmed, sensual and so open minded, so French that it ignites your desire to live in the world. What would be the world without French pastries , food and without the French Revolution?! I loved the clothes, the style, the places and all characters. Also there is pioneering filming about a French cuisine in the 18th century, all the craziness and characters that surround one new and emerging artistic star: THE CHEF. Great entertainment through which you can also learn about Marie-Antoine Careme, one the pioneering chefs of modern history. Thanks to the producers!!

I reserved rating of 10 for cinema that I greatly enjoy but that also feels personal to me and that, as Tralala, moves my emotional and existential geography. You feel envigorated with the subject matter of life. Mattew Almaric conveys so much beauty and tenderness in his performance of a homeless person who is driven to take the role of another. The film is set in Paris and in the town of Lourdes, France. This is the cinema that the French sometimes gets us accustomed to, simplicity and grandness altogether. And do not miss Bertran Belin, a great French musician little known in the US but that I have been used to love for 3 years playing a character and a great song in the film finale. And the performance of Denis Lavant as a Shakespearean movie jester. The film ends with him dancing like in the classic Claire Denis' Beau Travail. Tralala is unforgettable. Thanks to directors and producers and everyone.

As a lover of the Ripley's stories (I have watched Delon's, Malkovich's and Damon's ) I cannot stop loving so far(I am in episode 2) the visual and thematic transformation that Zaillian has made of the Ripley's theme. It's radical to turn the Amalfi coast and Caravaggio into black and white. Also his creation of silence. I believe he wants to turn the characters too. Andrew Scott , always so sweet and likable, as the villain. Scarface Flyn (not sunnyface Jude Law) as Dickey who I am afraid Zaillian is urging us to dislike profoundly, starting with his highly bad taste in art. I wonder whether Zaillian wants us to accept Ripley's resolution.
